Excellent+++ GOLD STAR GF-85 5-STRING BANJO Mother of Pearl Mahogany Resonator
Description
Gold Star Banjo with Mother of Pearl Tuning Pegs and Inlaid on Neck 
Length of banjo 39 inches

The banjo and the case is near mint condition !!!
No small, no damage nothing is wrong
The alloy composition of the single piece flange and tension hoop was upgraded to remove impurities and eliminate metal fatigue (the vintage 20-hole flat head tone ring is carefully fitted to a 3-ply rock maple rim). Add to the mix a single-piece, die-cast flange of proper dimension and the result is that elusive "Pre-War" sound. In the 80s and 90s the Gold Star banjos became collector's banjos for the current crop of pickers, being one of only two brands of five string banjo that have consistently increased in value after purchase.
