OME serial no. 844. This banjo is beautiful but more importantly, I like the way it plays. Neck, rim, resonator are well-preserved curly maple. Peghead w/ebony overlay and highly intricate inlay work. Tuners are pearl. Metal work is gold plated and shiny like new. Previous owner removed the sliding 5th string capo; two small holes were filled in nicely but are visible upon inspection. There's a very minor, tiny nick in the side of the headstock. Check the photos. Case and strap included. I'VE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO ADD PHOTOS BUT THE SYSTEM ISN'T ALLOWING IT.
