This is an all mahogany Samick Artist Series 5-string resonator banjo in near mint condition. The chrome is near perfect, as are the neck and tuners. The 5th string tuner is geared, as are the four other guitar-type tuners. The Remo head has some finger staining from playing, but that's because this thing sounds and plays like banjos three times this price. It was made in Korea and comes with the original semi-hard case. It has an 11" pot with a 27.5" scale, and the nut is right at 1 9/32". Railroad spikes were professionally installed at the 2nd, 4th, and 5th frets from the 5th string nut.
