Mint Condition. Stamped May 5, 2004. Maple body, Walnut Tuning Pegs. Rarely available in this condition. It's a beautiful instrument. I do not have pictures, but I will gladly refund purchase price minus shipping charges if not completely satisfied. I have sold several instruments and have never had one returned. Tue, 21 May 2013 22:34 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classified/32771 For sale is my beloved Washburn banjo and the original Washburn case. This was the top of the line banjo made by Washburn in the early 80's. As shown in the pictures, the tone ring sits on spring-loaded brass poles vs. directly against the rim. As a result, the banjo rings LOUD and is awesome for playing in a mix. If you'd like a banjo with Stelling-like volume without a Stelling-like price tag, this may be for you. Here are a couple of simple recordings to let you hear how it sounds: <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9116971/Washburn1.wav" target="_blank">dl.dropbox.com/u/9116971/Washburn1.wav</a> (not sure how to make these links clickable) <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9116971/Washburn2.wav" target="_blank">dl.dropbox.com/u/9116971/Washburn2.wav</a> I listed it as "Excellent" vs. "Mint" because there is a minor scuff mark where the flange seems to have rubbed against the flange as it was taken off in the past. This is barely noticeable, but I'd rather err on the conservative side. That said, the banjo is in gorgeous condition and has rarely been played (I'm a guitar player primarily). I bought this instrument used and apparently unplayed in the year 2000. Until recently it sat in my closet. The case is also in excellent condition. I originally bought it because of the gorgeous grain in the resonator and the punch for playing scruggs-style. Since then I've become quite a fan of melodic and other styles that involve playing up the neck more and this banjo has been awesome for that as well. I absolutely love the tone, the volume and the look of it and have resisted selling it for years because this model is pretty hard to find these days. However as a guitar player I'm not a big fan of that 5th string peg half-way up the neck so I've commissioned a custom build with a 5th string that runs the full neck length... But custom builds are pricey and, unfortunately I must sell some instruments to finance it. Tue, 21 May 2013 22:33 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classified/36499 Like new R.K. Smith fretless mountain-style banjo. Regularly sell on E-Bay for over $300.00. Tue, 21 May 2013 22:25 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classified/36361 This banjo was the last prototype for the Sullivan V35 banjo, Certificate from Sullivan banjo company stating components in this banjo is the same as the V35 banjo's. Great sounding and playing banjo! I was very pleased with this purchase from a fellow hangout member but since then I have purchased a 1986 Porsche 944 and I need cash for repairs. I have it priced low because the neck had a repaired break at the heel as seen in the pictures. The repair was very well done and is as solid as a rock, a little finish touching up and I would imagine it would be very hard to detect. The banjo is loud and powerful, does not require a heavy hand to play, the neck is very comfortable and easy to play. Here is a link to a video of Tony Wray playing it before First Quality shipped it out new: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3AgA5mxYqU&list=FLyMmIRQ9gWTRdLZwlevrH5Q" target="_blank">youtube.com/watch?v=Y3AgA5mxYq...ZwlevrH5Q</a> Comes with a hard shell case.

Tue, 21 May 2013 18:24 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classified/36376 I have for sale a 1996 Deering Sierra. Banjo is in excellent condition. Five star smooth white head tuned to about a "G". During this time Deering made their tone rings fit very tight. The rim has been trimmed down to allow a looser fit of the tone ring. The tone ring will slip on without forcing but is not loose enough to fall off if disassembled. This made a considerable difference in tone. Their is some fret wear on frets 1-5. This fret wear is normal for the age of the instrument and is not excessive. Banjo plays clear all the way up the neck. I bought a Hatfield Buckcreek and don't play this one anymore. There are a couple of very small dings on the banjo but is in excellent condition for its age. Buyer will not be disappointed. Banjo comes with a nice hard case. Case is black with grey interior. I will post pictures soon. Tue, 21 May 2013 18:12 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classified/36480 Vega SS-5 Folklore "Pete Seeger" Longneck Model 5 String Banjo (1965), made in Boston, shaded maple finish, laminated maple neck and rim, original chipboard case. Vega longneck "folk" banjo from the 1960's. It has been modified with mother of pearl inlays, new tuners, 5 string capo, and an optional resonator. It has a pick up and a gig bag as well. I've had it since 1975 but I'm thinning the herd. Great action and sound. These banjos were typically tuned down to "E" in standard 5-string "G" tuning and were the result of Pete Seeger's need for a banjo that could comfortably accommodate the typical blues guitarist's penchant for that particular key! While very popular in 1950's and 60's folk groups, the Seeger-style longneck banjos are rather obscure today and are an interesting and versatile instrument waiting for revival. Overall length is 43 1/2 in. (110.5 cm.), 11 in. (27.9 cm.) diameter head, and 2 3/4 in. (7 cm.) deep. Scale length is 32 in. (813 mm.). Excellent all-original condition except for period Grover Rotomatic tuners added, plays fine. Excellent Condition.

Tue, 21 May 2013 16:49 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classified/36393 This 22 year old RB-1 was built during the Greg Rich Era. May 20th 1991 one of 2 built that year using the Granada "Sunset Brown" finish. This was ordered from the factory with a tone ring. Serial # 1-9105-55G The neck has spectacular curl in the Maple, Nickle plating has some dirt & tarnish should shine up like new with some polish and elbow grease( I never bothered to clean it because it sounded so good I didn't want to mess with it). The frets are good. The top edge of the Gibson logo is discolored brown(most likely from a capo). Unique and sounds great. Comes with factory paperwork warranty papers, inspection sheet and owners manual. This is a deal for a 22 year old rare Gibson, this was not a common model even when it was new. They are not being made any more. Tue, 21 May 2013 15:47 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classified/35878 I'm selling my Geo C Dobson because I have a chance to buy another vintage banjo. When I got the banjo the pearwood fingerboard had disintegrated off the neck and there was a small chip/crack right where the 5th string pip had been....Fully repaired and new ebony fretless fingerboard installed. I was able to reinstall an original abalone horseshoe inlay on the scoop and there is an abalone star inlay on the headstock. Other than that the banjo was in amazing shape for its age. It has the spun-over rim, a John Balch hidehead, no-knot tailpiece...custom made birch bridge, nylon Strings. The four long string tuners are original and the 5th string tuner is geared. I don't think it is original, but it comes with a very old chip-board case that I think it sat in for many years.

Tue, 21 May 2013 12:45 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classified/4110 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. Pictures show some examples of the banjos I make. Banjos are priced $200 to $450, depending upon features requested. Banjos have 13" three-ply white oak pots, maple necks, calfskin heads, and fiddle tuners. The necks are scooped in order to give plenty of room for frailing and still keep close action where the neck is played. Basic tackhead model with square headstock is $200, plus $18 shipping. Basic tensioning models have a brass tension hoop with 10 brackets and shoes. $300, plus $18 shipping. These banjos are very basic, but very playable. If you are looking for something with perfect fit and finish (factory banjo), these banjos are not right for you. If you are looking for something that really does the trick for old time music, these banjos sound and work great. Satisfaction is guaranteed. If you purchase a 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 Tue, 21 May 2013 10:47 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classified/10736 This model has flush frets and star markings branded onto the neck.
