FAIRBANKS ELECTRIC MODEL 5 STRING BANJO, SERIAL NUMBER 1609. IT LOOKS TO ME THAT IT HAS HAD SOME RESTORATION AND OR MODERN UPGRADES. NICE USE OF MOTHER OF PEARL ON THE NECK. THE BODY IS MISSING THE ENDS TO 6 OF THE TIGHTENING SCREWS ON THE BODY. THE BODY MEASURES APPROX. 12" ACROSS AND THE BANJO MEASURES APPROX. 35" OVERALL. IT COMES HOUSED IN A MODERN HARD CASE THAT FITS QUITE NICELY. ALL OF MY ITEMS ARE OFFERED WITH A NO QUESTIONS ASKED RETURN PRIVILEGE.
