Vintage Maple Richelieu Plectrum Banjo, long neck c/w hard case I believe this is the “Lyte Lady” model. It’s in excellent order with no noticeable wear on the ebony fretboard. The resonator is in very good order. This is a plectrum banjo and is very loud with an excellent tone. The Richelieu banjos are sought after for both build quality and the quality of sound. They are hand made in Seattle, USA. Apart from the ebony fingerboard, this is an all-maple banjo. There are signs of use on the back of the neck but the birdseye maple back is lovely. If you run your finger over the Mother of Pearl on the front of the headstock, you can feel that there is a small bit of it missing. Visually, it's not obvious.These don't come up for sale very often and retail new in excess of £1,000, making this one a bargain. If you have been after the very best of banjos, then this Vintage Maple Richelieu Plectrum Banjo is it. Supplied with a hard case.
