Gibson Mastertone Earl Scruggs Banjo 2004

SHIPPING INCLUDED in US and CANADA!!

48 hour price drop. If it doesn't sell by Friday at this price, we're just going to keep it because it's a real player's instrument and it'll stay in our backline.

We got this amazing banjo in trade, but in 4 years it's been played twice, so time to let it go. Original purchase receipt and warranty card/inspection sheet included along with a capo and tuning key. It's in great condition; the original owner definitely played it, there is a nick here and there in the case tolex, but it was obviously well taken care of and has only been out of the case a few times since being in our possession.

Not being banjo experts, please feel free to ask any questions or request any hi-res photos before purchasing.

We will include shipping cost via UPS or FedEx anywhere in North America. Shipping outside North America will be by DHL, and will be $200 extra.

Updates - in response to some questions:

1) The stamped serial number doesn't match the packing list.  Not sure why, I took pictures of everything that was included in the case. Possible explanation: The store gave the original purchaser the wrong case or the wrong paperwork, happens all the time.

2) The tuners have been replaced, the new ones are Five-Star planetary. I don't know why, maybe the original owner liked the Five-Star tuners better than whatever Gibson was using as stock tuners in 2004.

3) The railroad spikes were professionally installed; drilled first to prevent cracking in the fretboard.

4) The tonering has no markings that I can see, but the resonator flange and tailpiece are clearly marked.

5) There appears to have been a professional re-fret done at some point in the banjo's history.
