First of all, the ONLY reason I am selling this banjo is because I am going to have another Yates built for me. (I know it is a sickness and I have given up on treatment options) This banjo was born on 11/30/2010. Serial# 9464-59-0037. It has a beautiful curly maple resonator and a straight grain maple neck that is slick as butter. 5th string spikes are at 7,8,9,10,12. This banjo has the newer simple inlay. The Keith D-tuners come with this banjo.
I cant say enough about the power and tone of this banjo. From the open 4th string to the highest highs, it absolutly has it! You can check out sound samples on the Yates Banjos web site. http://www.yatesbanjos.com/
The price is firm at $3800. This banjo sells new for $4475. Comes with Yates OHSC.
I am happy to answer any questions about this banjo. Thank you for looking!
