For Sale is mint condition wreath style 3 made by Frank & Ricky Neat of Russell Springs, KY. This banjo was originally for my good friend and luthier Harry Sparks. I got the banjo from Sparky early last year because it originally contained one of his nohole conversion rings. I removed his ring for a special project and recently had the rim cut for an older Huber vintage nohole ring that was freshly replated.
This mahogany Neat banjo is absolutely immaculate and truly looks new. I played it throughout the 2025 year as a backup/low tuned banjo on Ricky Skaggs shows but took immaculate care of it. I also played this banjo with Steve Earle & his "Hardly Strictly Dukes" set in San Francisco. The banjo comes in a brand new black Guardian hard shell case with green interior.
Here's your shot at a great playing banjo that sounds incredible and doesn't come available often. I also have a link to a soundbite of the banjo under the "More Info URL".
Thank you for looking,
Russ
