WHY THIS ONE STANDS OUT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

It’s uncommon to find a Shenandoah equipped with both Keith banjo tuners and Five-Star planetary tuners, making this an especially desirable instrument for bluegrass players and collectors alike. The walnut construction delivers a warm, balanced response with excellent clarity, while the ebony fingerboard provides a smooth, high-end playing feel.

This banjo has clearly been well cared for throughout its life, showing only light cosmetic wear consistent with age. Clean, highly playable, and loaded with premium upgrades, it’s ready for the stage, studio, or collection.

CONDITION

Very clean vintage condition with excellent remaining fret life. Minor signs of age and handling may be present, but overall this is an exceptionally well-preserved example.

Professionally packed and shipped insured in its Superior brand hardshell case.
