Original owner. Barely played. I'm a 5-String player. Don't use this beauty enough to keep it. The most beautiful instrument I've ever owned. Sounds as good as it looks. A real steal for someone who wants one if you compare to the price they're going for. Comes with Deering hard case.The Phoenix 6 String banjo has a beautiful organic tone that results in warm and well-rounded full notes. When amplified, these characteristics are enhanced by a combination of brilliant highs via the piezo pickup and warm mid range from the Kavanjo®.As well as a master volume control, players can dial in the tone even more with the addition of a blend control, the centre position of which is marked with a centre notch. This allows for a seemingly endless combination of Kavanjo® and piezo mix, bringing out the best from both pick ups and truly enhancing the natural sound of the banjo itself.Neck:Maple Stained Golden Honey22 Pressed In Nickel Silver FretsSlender Deering Neck ShapeEbony FingerboardPearloid InlaysGuitar Style Tuners (planetary tuners available as an option)Satin FinishPot:Violin Grade Maple 3-Ply Rim Deering 6-string Tailpiece11″ Kavanjo® Renaissance Banjo Head Deering Patent Pending Bridge PlatePeizo Pickup Under the Bridge PlateBeveled Tension Hoop24 Nickel Plated Flat Hooks with 9/32″ Hex Nuts24 Nickel Plated Bracket ShoesGold Polymer Coated Armrest & Tension Hoop, Tailpiece, and 2-piece FlangeTone & Pickup Blender ControlsResonatorMaple, Honey Stained Trimmed in Black Straight Sidewalls Satin FinishTone:Warm round full notes sound at full volume acoustically and are enhanced withbrilliant highs via the piezo pickup and warm mid range from the Kavanjo®.The tone is adjustable with the blender control to bring the best from both pickups.    Bright round clear notes ring with the happy resonance of the banjo.Dimensions:Neck Width at the Nut 1 3/4″,Scale Length Nut to Bridge 26 1/4″Resonator Diameter 13 7/8″Overall Instrument Length 38″Weight Approx. 8 lbs
