About This Listing

5 String Banjo in excellent condition.

Appears to have a cherry finish and an ebony pick guard. No pitting on the resonator. All the chrome looks good to me. I would list it as "mint"- but I don't know much about banjos.

The guy who sold it to me said it was from the late 1970s or early80s, but I doubt it. It looks immaculate. I know nothing about banjos though, so maybe? I bought it at an antique store a couple years ago to use on a film score I was working on. I'm an electronic music guy and have not used it since, so it needs a new home.

It sounds loud and awesome to me, but again I'm no banjo expert.

Comes with a cheap cardboard case.

Happy to send sound samples or answer any questions, but I don't how helpful I'll be.

Local pickup encouraged, or if you live a reasonable distance from the NJ shore, message me and perhaps I can deliver it to you.
