Ludwig banjos are quite nice quality instruments... this 23" scale Columbia-model tenor, probably c.1925-1930, features a full flange with turned flamed walnut resonator, walnut neck, and thin walnut pot. The head rests right on the thin wooden rim, but because of the resonator and flange, this banjo is quite loud, percussive, sustained, and poppy. I've set it up as a GDAE-tuned "Celtic" tenor banjo and it's definitely got the warm bottom end and precise tone that's perfect for that stringing.
Fretboard is ebony with nice pearl inlays... there's a veneer of (ebony?) on the headstock, and also at the heel cap area. Resonator back has tortoise binding and the banjo has all of its original hardware save a new adjustable tailpiece and new Grover bridge, both of which are near-enough original that you don't notice their newer provenance.
