An early Scarab tenor banjo in perfect condition, crafted by the exceptional Czech luthier Rosťa Čapek, in ideal setup in CGDA.

Compared to current models, this early Scarab is equipped with a 40-hole archtop tone ring, and the wood selection also differs. Additionally, it features a Kershner tailpiece. Rosťa’s label can be found inside the body and on the inside of the resonator (serial number 156/97).

Length 88 cm, scale length 58 cm, nut width 29 cm, head diameter 11"

The instrument sounds and plays superbly and comes in a modern Stagg case.
