Sat, 7 Nov 2009 11:01 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=12081 Hi All, I have a used Gold Tone White Ladye 250 with the scooped neck in good condition that I would like to trade for the either Pat Cloud or the Deluxe Gold tone Banjola, would consider the standard Gold Tone Banjola also. The Banjo is in good condition: has a small nick on the tuning head, and has wear on the head from my hand from playing clawhammer. Sat, 7 Nov 2009 09:05 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. John 386-747-9869 Sat, 7 Nov 2009 07:01 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=9716 WANTED IBANEZ TENOR OR 5 STRING BANJO Sat, 7 Nov 2009 05:33 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. Thank you, Luca. Fri, 6 Nov 2009 23:52 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=11964 Very Good Condition Gold Star GF-85 with Waverley ivoroid tuners. Plays great, includes cradle strap. Spikes installed. Original case. Fri, 6 Nov 2009 21:43 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=11911 Maple Osborne Chief For Sale Blaylock Tone Ring Comes with TKL case, Chief strap I bought the banjo new in Sept '03 but have not played it in the past three years. It has just been sitting in its case . I have pics I can email if interested $3800 obo Fri, 6 Nov 2009 21:43 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=11908 This is a '99 Deering Sierra 5-string banjo, a pro-grade instrument with all the best features that affect tone and playability without the fancy (expensive) cosmetics. Satin mahogany resonator, maple rim, one piece cast zinc flange, bell bronze tone ring, etc. Awesome sound with lots of volume and low end power! Can keep up with any pro banjo out there. This one has also been customized with a Goldtone dot inlay graphite neck with radiused fingerboard, and has a matching radiused bridge. These necks are amazing (see http://www.angiesbanjo.com/Banjo%20Parts-RK/GT-banjo-parts/graphite-neck.htm). Improved tone, low action, and plays smooth as butter! The graphite is impervious to temp and humidity changes, perfectly straight, perfectly stable, and stronger than any wood. Truss rod adjusts smoothly. These necks cost $600, and I had it professionally installed. Keith D-tuner pegs (cost $200) on 2nd & 3rd strings. Spikes on 5th string frets 7 & 9. Banjo excellent condition throughout. Comes with quality Deering logo arch-top hard shell case. Original Deering mahogany neck with all original tuners also included (peghead has a small crack in the wood on the back, but is still useable as is). More photos available on request. I have loved this banjo. Only selling because I recently acquired a vintage rosewood OME Juggernaut (wow). Fri, 6 Nov 2009 21:14 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=12097 Two banjos for a great price (2 necks & one pot). The Nechville necks (Phantom tunneled 5th and tenor) interface with the Helimount frame to allow you to swap the necks out in a matter of minutes with a simple allen key. At this time I would like to sell these together. It is basically mint but almost 2 years old now so I'll say excellent. This is a beautiful 2008 Nechville Walnut Phantom cared for dearly with the following specs: * Premium Black Walnut neck and Fancy Burl Walnut resonator * Tunneled 5th String * Natural Clear coat Nechville Finish * Durable Black Eclipse Helimount frame * Slightly wider, comfortable neck profile * Curly Maple Binding with black/white stripe * Natural Cocobolo Fingerboard. * Super Smooth High Ratio Right angle Tuning pegs * 20 hole Megaphonic Bell Bronze Tone ring * Nechville's exclusive Cyclotronic Rolling Rim pot system. * 3 Ply Maple Rim * Select Cocobolo Fingerboard with Compound 7-12" Radius Shape * Premium Hard Shell Case, with adjustment tools and manual I am selling this also with a 19 fret walnut Nechville radiussed tenor neck that I had made by Nechville in early 2009. The walnut tenor neck is ebony with no inlay and curly maple binding to match the original resonator of the Phantom. The original hardshell 5-string case included. The tenor neck to be shipped within in a separate box. Fri, 6 Nov 2009 21:14 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=11726 From flesherbanjos.com: "This is an open-back banjo for the person who dares to be different. Styled after the old minstrel banjos of the 1840s, it has a scroll peghead and half bracket shape on the fingerboard below the 5th string. These shapes were used to identify fret positions on the old fretless banjos. The neck is made of select curly maple with a back strap of black and curly maple which forms a V on the back of the neck. There is a black/maple/black lamination below the peghead, fingerboard, rim cap and boat-shaped heel. The fingerboard and peghead has a mirror image inlay at the nut, and ornate inlays at the 5th fret and at the bottom of the neck, all intricately engraved. The rim has wood marquetry inside and out just above the black rim cap and has 18 brackets and a "No Knot" tailpiece." Added: This banjo has a 12" rim and has 28 brackets and also a renaissance head. Like most of Bob's banjos, it comes with an ebony tone ring. It has 16 frets up to where the inlay appears near the pot. This is not a scoop, but there are simply no frets, plenty of space for playing over the neck. Too many banjos, not enough time- and has been barely played. Hardshell case and armrest that came with banjo from Bob Flesher included. Fri, 6 Nov 2009 21:02 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=11727 I've only had this banjo since January 2009 and just haven't played it that much. Its currently set up with 34W-26W-18W-11 strings for Irish traditional playing. Maple neck, mahogany resonator, ebony fingerboard with hearts and flowers inlay. Hardshell case included. *I can swap the frosted-bottom head for a clear head for that extra-right zing if desired. *Comes with original Gold Tone metal armrest and not Nechville wood armrest Fri, 6 Nov 2009 20:56 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=12106 1931 Gibson banjo, style 3,mohogany,all original except for armrest and tailpiece, Frank Neat hearts and flowers neck, 40 hole raised original tone ring, has a warm mellow sound for an archtop because of the 40 hole ring. 50's or 60's Lifton hardshell case in good condition , Banjo has a Curtis McPeake bridge and been recently set up by Curtis. spikes at 7,8, and 9. Serial number 9204-38. Fri, 6 Nov 2009 19:14 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=12116 This early 50's banjo has had an unidentified 20 hole tone ring installed. The new maple Stew-mac neck has an adjustable truss rod, ebony finger board and dot inlays. Finished with 2 coats of Tru-oil. The final coats have not been done since the plan was to do more inlays. Original tuners and new 5th string tuner. Elite head, SS bridge and Presto tail piece. I am including the original neck. The serial number is 6-5713-17. Fri, 6 Nov 2009 18:19 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=11777 2003 Gold Star GF-85 with original Gator hard case for sale. Serial #030081 This is one of the early re-issue Gold Stars. The first 100 produced came with a Jimmy Cox rim and resonator, which I believe is a significant upgrade on both parts, especially the rim. The tuners have been upgraded. I also added a Prucha Presto tailpiece in place of the original. No spikes or sliding capo ever installed. Flange has a slight pull at the neck area. No scratches, dents, dings or repairs. This is definitely a great banjo for the money. You won't be disappointed. Feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions. Asking $650 plus shipping, with a 48 hour trial period offered. (Email for accurate shipping quote.) Fri, 6 Nov 2009 17:20 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=11239 This is the same banjo that I have listed before, only now much cheaper!!!! Price is negotiable and I have to take the BEST OFFER!!!! I am the only owner and I know the banjo has been babied. I hate to sell but I'm about to be laid off with a new baby (my third) and a new house payment. Priorities first. Fitch, Frailin', Tony Pass, Tom Mirisola, among others can vouch for this banjo. The price is worth it, and I think it's fair. Comes with ohsc. The headstock is pictured as my homepage photo. The pics show wear on the armrest and a few slight nicks that add character on the case. I have had spikes professionally installed on 7 and 9. Presto tailpiece, Neck and bridge made by Rob Smith, Tony Pass Thin Skirt Rim, JLS#4 tone ring and Steve Gill resonator. AMAZING banjo---truly heirloom quality!!! Thanks for all the comments and emails I have already received just after one day. The resonator has what I call "normal" scratches but only in the finish; not even close enough to be into the wood; I tried to show that in the last picture. You have to turn the res' sideways to let the light hit it to see the scratches. Call for more questions or I could email more pics if needed, but only to interested individuals. Fri, 6 Nov 2009 15:55 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=12115 This banjo is a real gem. An 11'' inch pot Ramsey Special complete with Saturn inlay in the headstock. Bough this banjo to replace a 12" Ramsey that was tragically stolen, the ONLY reason I am selling this beauty is that I really miss the sound of a 12" pot. I am a big dude who plays hard, and the 12" just fits me better. That being said, just this week I played in a raucous jam and this instrument certainly holds it's own. The banjo is in great shape, and comes with a sweet hard case. The only blemish is a slight chip in the finish on the headstock( see photo). Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you!!!!! Fri, 6 Nov 2009 13:15 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=12114 The time has come for me to give up playing. I have focal dystonia and can no longer play. This banjo deserves to go to someone who will play it. I bought this banjo used two years ago and have performed and recorded with it. It is by far the best banjo I've ever owned and I wish I could continue playing it. It is the standard Maple Osborne Chief. Gold plated, Blaylock tone ring. It has a set of Ugly Tuners which are to coolest tuners around. You can't help but want to use them on every song as they are easy to use and stay in tune. The price of $4200.00 includes the banjo, the Dogwood strap, a Calton Case, and the Ugly Tuners. When I purchased the banjo, it came in a Delta Triangluar case. I purchased a Calton (still in immaculate condition) and the Ugly Tuners. I am willing to sell the banjo by itself with the Delta case for $3700.00. I would then sell the Calton for $500.00, and the Ugly Tuners for $200.00. But I'd like to sell the whole package at $4200.00 if possible. I will be posting pictures in the next few days. Fri, 6 Nov 2009 12:38 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=12001 This is a great Deering that belongs to Joe Mullins. He's and unbelievably talented banjo player from my area. He's best know for his work with bands such as Longview, and The Traditional Grass. This is his personal banjo that he asked me to sell for him. Its a stock Deering Golden Era in mint condition. Comes with Original hard shell case, and a fresh set up. You won't find a better Deering banjo than this one right here! Fri, 6 Nov 2009 11:54 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=11757 2008 walnut Nechville Galaxy Phantom. As nice as they come. Set up and plays perfectly. No issues, whatsoever. Not a scratch on it. All original, except it has a 5-star head. Will send you the original Renaissance head, if you want it. Will also throw in the Dogwood designs custom galaxy strap, too! TKL hard case is also original and mint. I just traded another banjo for a new Prucha Diamond Point. I have two other mint banjos for sale, too. Would consider trade for a late model OME in same condition, or perhaps a LouZee Blackjack. Fri, 6 Nov 2009 09:59 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=11428 This is about as nice a one-piece-flange TB-3 as you're likely to find, completely untouched and from the family of the original owner. Full details are at http://www.earnestbanjo.com/gibson_banjo_TB-3_mastertone_345-6.htm. $11,000 shipped; sorry, no trades.
