These banjos are made in dark Mahogany and are known for their good value for money. They were available with four inlay patterns: Wreath, Hearts & Flowers, Flying Eagle and a deluxe Florentine pattern. Due to the small print run, they are now rare and loved by players and collectors.<\/p>\n

This banjo is in good condition, almost no wear on the frets and general signs of use. The heel has a repaired crack, which is easy to see in the photo. The banjo has a Mahogany neck with a Rosewood fingerboard with white binding.<\/p>\n
