This open back banjo features a fantastic 2-pc curly maple neck with intricate engraving at the heel and wreath inlay. I have no idea who built this banjo but it's very well made. The pot is the bracket and shoe configuration with a block rim and dual coordinator rods. The nickel plated banjo hardware consists of a regular tension hoop, hooks, nuts, armrest and Kershner style tailpiece. If you need additional pictures or have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. It ships in a Reunion Blues soft case pictured. Thanks for looking!
