Ive worked on getting this thing together for a year. It is a excellent example of a vintage vega with big sound and tons of clarity... + the cool factor I never really thought I would sell the banjo. But, my stable is pretty full at the moment, and playing much less than I should.. Banjo has been outfitted with a Wyatt Fawley maple neck. The tuners are GOTOH with black buttons and basically new. TKL hard case The original neck (tenor) is included in the sale as well as the original HSC for the tenor body. Actual shipping will be applied as well as fees for paypal.. Shipping will be for 2 cases so I would estimate about 100 for shipping... This ad is pending of course in case I choose to change my mind... Sat, 7 Nov 2009 14:07 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=12128 Gibson 75, serial number 75 0303 066, JD Crowe signed sticker. I bought this from Curtis McPeake 4 years ago and have played it with the Windriders ever since. It came from Curtis with a kulesh tone ring. I replaced it with a First Quality professional cryo ring, the exact same formulation as, and made by the same folks who make the Crowe ring. The sound of the rings is identical, very dry with good note separation. A few minor dings, nothing serious, it has been a road banjo so it's not mint. Neck is in great shape,frets are in good condition . Comes with a Gibson case, Page capo and strap. I will ship this banjo (in the US) insured, for $2100.00 firm. I think this banjo is well worth the asking price. I know these pics are bad, i'm not good at this stuff, but if you are seriously interested I can e mail these with fax viewer so you can get up close and personal with the banjo.

Sat, 7 Nov 2009 07:37 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=6420 Fretless 5-String Banjo (13-inch pot) I have been making banjos with the object being to make a basic, almost primitive banjo similar to the ones common around the Civil War era. I also wanted to come up with a banjo that had a good sound and would be very playable for clawhammer style. This is an example of a tensioning model with a brass tension hoop, 10 brackets and shoes, and rounded peghead. This model is $320. This banjo has a 13" three-ply white oak pot, maple neck, calfskin head, and fiddle tuners. The neck is scooped in order to give plenty of room for frailing and still keep close action where the neck is played. My banjos are very basic, but very playable. If you are looking for something with perfect fit and finish (factory banjo), my banjos are not right for you. If you are looking for something that really does the trick for old time music, my banjos sound and work great. Satisfaction is guaranteed. If you purchase this banjo and discover that it really isn't right for you, I will refund your money, less shipping costs, once the banjo is returned. Buyer pays flat rate of $18.00 for shipping within the continental US (includes insurance). Cost to ship international will be calculated based on buyer's location. Thanks! --Eric Sat, 7 Nov 2009 07:21 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=12059 This is a 1926 Gibson TB-3 with a 5 string conversion neck, serial number 8206-50. I bought this from Steve Huber a while back. The rim is uncut and is fitted with a no hole Huber conversion ring. The neck inlay is the original variation of the Flying Eagle pattern with spikes on frets 7, 8, 9, and 10. It has Sullivan pancake tuners with ivoroid buttons. The tension hoop, flange, presto tailpiece and hooks have all been replaced with modern versions. Back of original resonator oversprayed by Huber. Banjo also comes with the original hardware including presto, hooks, and ball bearing tone ring and hardware. Set up by Steve Huber, sounds great and looks great. Includes TKL case. My recent divorce is forcing the sale of this banjo Sat, 7 Nov 2009 07:13 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=12120 2008 Hatfield Buck Creek. This is a beautiful mahogany banjo with rosewood fingerboard & Arthur’s no-hole ring. It’s in excellent condition. There are two very small marks on the backside of the resonator and a very, very small mark on the end of the peg head. This is an amazing banjo. I will probably kick myself for selling it but I need to. $2100.00 and I will include shipping to the lower 48.

Sat, 7 Nov 2009 04:45 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=5214 Although national style finger picks have been around for the better part of a hundred years, few finger-pickers are completely satisfied with how they work and feel. Among the complaints: if they're adjusted tightly enough to stay on, they hurt, not to mention the hangnails they can cause; for some, clicking picks is an annoyance; for others, it is difficult or impossible to finesse a musical piece with hurting fingers, or while worrying that at any moment a pick might come flying off and shoot across the stage. Designed as a set of at least two, each pick has a unique shape, which virtually prevents clicking. When snugly installed, it is almost impossible to sling them off the fingers. Some say the picks feel like part of the finger when they put them on. And, while, in truth, they may not feel exactly like fingernails, it's as close as one liable to get with a finger pick. With these picks, one can actually achieve the "perfect touch." This product comes with a 45 day money back guarantee & lifetime replacement guarantee against wearout! Sat, 7 Nov 2009 03:58 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=5215 The Perfect Touch Clawhammer Pick was born of necessity. The necessity of perserving the fingernails of the clawhammer picker. The Perfect Touch Clawhammer Pick is as radically innovative as the Perfect Touch Finger Picks. This pick is designed to be worn over the fingernail, with the tab resting against the fingertip.When putting on the pick, turn the finger 90 degrees, as if the finger is pointing, then gently turn the pick until it is resting over the fingernail. A few clawhammer pickers are blessed with tough fingernails. But those who are not can suffer painful chips and breaks during lengthy performances. Designed to be worn with the first wrap near the first knuckle, the pick employs a tab that is designed to rest against the fingertip, which gives rock-solid stabilization to the pick. At last the Clawhammer Pick can now achieve the Perfect Touch!

Sat, 7 Nov 2009 03:57 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=12104 Hi, here a fine sounding old Gibson bowtie. I bought it from Bernunzio store, then i sent the rim to Mr Jim Burlile to cut it and to fit his 20 holes unplated Burlile tonering. The original 5 string neck had a bad repaired peghead crack so i replaced it with a wonderful walnut Frank Neat neck (the original neck come with the banjo ). The final result shocked me !!! This banjo sound amazing with a wonderful prewar tone and a lot of power. The pot is all original ( Presto tailpiece apart of course ) and the hardware is still shining, only resonator show his age but all is solid and intact. The banjo has never been refinished or replated ! Frets are in great shape, just minimal wear. It comes with his original, and very cool, case. The bridge is a Yates Ron Stewart model. You can watch and listen it here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9yUae4CImU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNyUul3TSdU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWhIrvra5-U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaR_UJq3RH8 This was my main banjo and i played it in many gigs/festivals with Bononia Grass.
