This vintage OME Grubstake is a classic early-70s open-back 5-string banjo crafted in Boulder, Colorado during OME’s formative years. With serial number 420, it falls within the original 1973 production range (#245–#594), making it one of the earlier Grubstake models ever made.
The open-back long neck design delivers a warm, mellow tone characteristic of early Grubstakes without a tone ring—perfect for folk, bluegrass, and old-time playing styles. It features the classic OME stamp with city of origin marked on the back and authentic walnut/maple construction typical of Boulder-era OME banjos.
This banjo represents a genuine piece of American handcrafted instrument history from OME’s legendary Colorado workshop. Early Grubstakes like this one are prized by collectors and players for their authentic vintage character and playability. Ideal for musicians seeking a true vintage open-back banjo with provenance. Shows authentic age and use consistent with a 50+ year old instrument.HSC
