Paramount Style C plectrum banjo in superb playing condition. Original Paramount "Wearforever" finish and nickel plating. Original tailpiece. This banjo is a rare find in that the neck is in perfect condition, it is straight with no warps, bows or twists, no cracks in the heel or peghead area. With new frets and bone nut installed by luthier Rob Zwally of stringdoc.com that have seen only modest playtime since their installation 3 years ago. Replacement ABM small shaft planet tuners for more reliable tuning, replacing the original failed Page tuners. The resonator has some scratches and dings from play through the years but it too still maintains it's original finish. Setup with a new Remo bottom frosted head and Farquhar bridge. Tremendous sound. Comes with a new hard shell case to replace the original that was a basket case.
