A banjo player friend has come into a Stradolin that he thinks he might like to sell. He'd like to know a bit more about this one, and what it might take to either get it in good shape, or what it might be worth now.
I've never owned or played stradolins before - I've seen them, but not with this style script on the peghead. There aren't any markings on the inside that either one of us has been able to see.
the action is not too terribly high, but it looks like the neck has possibly lifted. Also, there is some top sinkage (brace?)
So, any idea when it was made? What would be involved in getting these issues fixed? Any ideas on its value - as is, and/or made right?
Thanks in advance.
Bill
