Vintage 1970's Iida 5-String Resonator Banjo, Made in Japan

Vintage 1970's Iida 5-String Resonator Banjo, Made in Japan

Tested and 100% functional! We ask that you observe its pictures closely and invite you to contact us with any additional questions you may have.

This Vintage 1970's Iida 5-String Resonator Banjo is in very good cosmetic shape with normal wear one would expect with a vintage instrument and is in excellent playing condition! A handful of pressure dimples and some buckle rash can be found on the resonator and minor indentations can be detected on the back of the neck. The first four frets show moderate wear under the B and D strings. Nickel hardware shows normal scratches and minor tarnishing. These imperfections are cosmetic in nature only and do not affect the functionality of the instrument. Very structurally sound! Vintage Japanese banjos are highly coveted for their quality and this one is no exception. Looks, plays and sounds great! 

Case/gig bag sold separately.
