John Hartford Deering Banjo "new with hard case" a beautiful hand crafted Banjo right here in the U.S.A. This beautiful banjo was a return because of a small light depth puncture in the back side of the case and absolutely did not hurt the banjo one bit, no scratches no dents or blemishes. This banjo is still in new condition with warranty card blank with matching serial numbers. This is a $5299.00 retail Banjo. I was lucky enough to obtain this at a return auction house. It has been checked out by my local dealer in which they agreed that the banjo is in perfect cosmetic and functional condition. Thanks for looking and please feel free to email any questions or concerns you may have. I'm not a banjo expert but will do all I can to research anything that I don't know. Thanks again.
