Early Colin Vance Black Walnut banjo.
From Colin Vance:
It’s from around 2009 and is a little lighter with hooks and L-shoes, having only 10.
It’s a very nice banjo and looks to have a skin head (J Balch) on it now.
It’s Black Walnut neck and pot. Ebony fingerboard with Pearl star inlay.
Bone nut and Flamed Walnut trim as peghead cap.
Dobson shaped heel. (No flat heel cap matching the peghead cap). Dobson is an old banjo maker who did heels this way, rounded like this.
Two-way adjustable truss rod is accessible with the neck removed.
Scale length is 25.5”
11" Pot
Tone Ring is Honduran Rosewood
Comes with a Superior HSC Bump version
For sale or may trade for a nice 5 String Resonator (Bishline, Nechville, OME, Prucha, etc.) . Cash +/- is an option
