Early 60’s ODE Model 43 Grade 3 Extra Long Neck Banjo
This is an extremely nice Ode long neck banjo. It is all original and in great condition – looks like it has hardly been played. It is a Model 43 Grade 3 with the Style R (Arched Top) rim. The square peghead has the carved Grade 4 option and all metal parts are highly engraved. The neck has some very nice grain patterns and has the Grover Rotomatic tuners. The fret board inlays are the snowflake option and there is no fret wear. Also has the optional ODE 5th sting capo and original ODE bridge. It had D-tuners that have been removed and the holes plugged. It must have hung on a wall as there is slight wear on both sides of the peghead where it contacted the hanger arms. Comes with its original hardshell case.
The specs include:
• Style R arched top pot
• 32 ¼ scale walnut neck with nicely figured grain
• Carved square peghead
• Grover rotomatic tuners
• Snowflake inlays
• 5th string capo
• Elaborate carved heel
• Highly engraved metal parts
This banjo is in excellent, clean condition from a smoke free home.
