Very nicely figured Maple with sunburst finish. Radiused Ebony fingerboard with “Fallen Leaf” pattern Abalone inlays. 4 Railroad spikes installed at A, B-flat, B and C positions. Fingerboard is multiple bound with tortoise celluloid showing on the outside, and white/black accent lines on both sides of the tortoise. This means the white and black accent lines are seen on the face of the fingerboard, and the sides of the fingerboard. Ebony heelcap. 2-pc., bookmatched quilted Cherry resonator with handsome amber-brown sunburst. Top and back edge of resonator shows same binding pattern as fingerboard: tortoise celluloid main bindings with multiple white/black lines on both sides of the tortoise seen on top lip of resonator, back edge of resonator and top and bottom of the sides of resonator. The pot of the banjo has mostly frosted gold. It is in great condition because the previous owner protected the armrest and other parts from too much hand touching. Frosted armrest, tailpiece, side of tension hoop. Flathead tonering is bright gold. Flange is frosted.

Banjo is in really great shape, and has been recently setup to achieve excellent tone. The head has been tuned to "just a bit past" F. It has a rolling growl with smoothness and no brash metallic tones.
