Banjos
I made two banjos, and am currently designing a guitar-type thing.
My first banjo. It is made entirely out of scraps. Some teen gang member stole it when he stole my truck many years ago. If you ever find it, I will give you a reward for it.
THIS BANJO IS STOLEN PROPERTY!
Please notify Mark Fitzsimmons at (818) 718-5855 if you ever see this banjo!
Here are some close-up pictures of the mother of pearl inlays so you can identify it if you ever see it.

The famous one-of-a-kind Fitz golden rosebud:
My second banjo. This one is a full-on regular banjo with all the nickel plated brass parts. It's a heavy sucker. I used the scraps from these mother of pearl inlays to make the designs on the neck of the other one.
