$125 plus S&H
Bought at an Amish auction near Belleville, PA.
A plain banjo, sounds good.
Temporarily unavailable, fixing dowel - heel joint. 01-29-12 update.... re-set neck, lowered action.
DIMENSIONS:
Head dia. = 11"
Scale length 27 1/8"
String span @ nut = 1"
String span @ heel = 1 5/8".
Bridge = 5/8"
SETUP:
* action @ heel = 1/8".
* action @ octave = 1/8".
FLAWS:
Uses original friction tuners....not really a flaw, but takes some getting used to if you've never used them. These are a little bit less precise than geared tuners, and take more attention than geared tuners. The banjo stays in tune.
Normal scuffing due to age. Overall the finish is in fair condition, finish is thin & wood is somewhat stained @ left hand position. Had cheap guitar-type tuners.... I replaced them w/ friction tuners. Holes from guitar tuners filled but still visible.
ON THE PLUS SIDE:
An affordable, simple banjo that you won't worry about if you take it camping. Plays well, sounds good.
