That maple neck and star inlay pattern in an ebony fingerboard are what make this a "Deluxe" model--the standard Jubilee is mahogany/rosewood with dot inlays.

The maple neck and pot are dyed a striking blue color. Not for everyone, granted, but I sorta like it!
|
|  |
The maple pot takes up the dye in a most interesting way--it's really a cool appearance. Note Ome's proprietary hardware throughout, including closed-end bracket nuts.

Ome uses the new, Schaller brand planetary tuners on their banjos these days. A vast improvement over earlier designs!
|
 |
The neck is 1-piece maple, and has a flat finish on its striking blue dye.
|
|  |
The scooped ebony fingerboard has gorgeous, asymmetric abalone star and MOP moon inlays.
|
 |
The 12-inch maple pot has a shaped tone rim, and produces a really good sound.

It's currently set up with a Renaissance head, Snuffy Smith brand bridge, Ome brand strings, and a No-Knot tailpiece. Just what you need for OT music (or maybe singing the blues?).
