Description
Gibson machine tuners , presto tailpiece included with a superior archtop hardshell case.
New frets and setup done very last week, by an excellent local luthier. Best that I can describe is that this banjo has tons of volume and tone !!and plays like an absolute dream.If you want the Stanley tone , its there!! or pick a little bit away from the bridge and your as close to the scruggs flat head sound as your gonna get with an archtop! Anyone who has heard me play it just love the vintage sound . It is without a doubt . A true gem. I found a modern curly maple resonator that did fit and match the neck and rim .* The resonator that I did purchased on banjo hangout did get a little ding during shipping. It is shown in photos ,with a slight lacker checks from this as well. Other than that , the resonator is excellent. It is a great older banjo that has completely been setup and ready for the next pickin session!I am based out of Ontario Canada. I have no problem shipping internationally. Please contact me for extra pictures or more video and an in hand description Please contact me for an exact shipping quote to your location prior to bidding!!! Shipping can be very expensive in some distant worldwide locations
