Banjo (Used, c. early 1960s)

  • 5 Strings
  • 30 Bracket open-back pot
  • Brackets have nickel-plated escutcheons which make it look like a Kay banjo.
  • Outside frost, early mylar head is in excellent playing condition (may appear to be a skin head in photos because it has yellowed with age).
  • High action
  • It has geared guitar-like tuners for the four primary strings.
  • The peghead logo has been removed leaving only a ghost of an image and is therefore not legible.
  • Intended for folk-style playing (i.e. Pete Seeger songbook).


Overall Dimensions: 39” L x 11 7/8” W
