I have been looking around for a vintage banjolin. There always seem to be a few available on Ebay, but of questionable heritage. This causes complications for me, as there aren't any luthiers on Bonaire, and I don't think there are any in all of the Netherlands Antilles.
One thought was to bid on the better looking examples and have one shipped to a reputable shop, have the shop take care of the little problems that the seller forgot to mention, and then ship it to me. Elderly Instruments refused to cooperate with such a plan, but GoldTone said fine.
So ... anyone used GoldTone as a repair shop? Any caveats? Recommendations? Comments on my whole insane plan?
