This is a Great Lakes Blue Ribbon model that I purchased from a Banjo Hangout member several years ago. Made in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1975 or 1976. (Go Blue) It sounds great and is in excellent condition. Note there is a small crack in the fleur de lis inlay on the headstock.
The story is it started out as a Standard model with tone hoop. The previous owner obtained a NOS Great Lakes tone ring and had it installed by Nechville.
I'll consider offers for trades also.
