Tue, 9 Mar 2010 15:07:10 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/topic/172979 For a very limited time, perhaps 30 days, I am going to offer the Nechville Vintage that I have in the classifieds for $2,999. The buyer will add only actual shipping cost, plus the 2% donation to the hangout. The invoice price is $5.050 in 2007. I am gona loose some money, but I need to fix up my camping rig..If you want a Nechville, this is THE opportunity..less than 10 hours playing time, and its good as new..Thanks for reading..[:)] Tue, 9 Mar 2010 08:33:04 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/topic/172955 I have an awesome 83 goldstar with original case in great shape. It sounds amazing.. like an old flathead should.. it has a hairline crack on the back of the peghead.. it appears to be a laquer crack because it doesn't go all the way through, but I'm no expert..and that is the ONLY issue.. it's mahogany and other than the previously mentioned crack, it's about mint. the metal parts could use a good cleaning, they are kind of dusty, but the banjo's 27 years old! Anyhow, here's the deal. I received this banjo on trade, and the last thing I need is another banjo. I am looking for a mandolin of equal caliber to this banjo.. here are my requirements.. F style, Hard case, SLIM neck.. VERY slim neck.. Slender body.. like a Kentucky KM-1000 style.. not sure what you call that, but I don't want no fat body mando... I don't care if it's an import, or a domestic, but the thing needs to bark! It must be in 100% playable condition and sound as good as this banjo does! It can be beat up, or pretty as a picture.. it really makes no difference to me, but it better have the sound or let's not waste each others time... Not sure how we'd work the trade, because I'd want to play the mando before any trading was done, and I'd expect you'd want to play the banjo as well.. but it's worth a shot, so if you've got something you think would fit the bill, email me and we can discuss... bbanjoboy@aol.com Of course cash is king, and the banjo can be yours for the low price of just $1250.. which is only about $100 more than Janet Davis gets for a new Chinese GoldStar.. And everyone knows that the old Japanese goldstars were a million times better than the new ones.. If you're interested and would like pics and or more info, shoot me an email Kenny Mon, 8 Mar 2010 21:20:29 CST eric@banjohangout.org http://www.banjohangout.org/topic/172927 Interested in trading a fiddle/violin I got a few years ago for an open back banjo.

Wood, metal and finish are in very nice condition. The peghead inlay and the thumb ridge on the back of the peghead make me think that this banjo-guitar was made by Gretsch. Geared, guitar tuners. D'Addario Pro-Arte EF46 classical guitar strings. Natural skin (calfskin?) head is slightly stained from use but otherwise in very good condition. Tailpiece is a bit funky-looking, but mechanically sound and functional. I smoothed the string holes to make it compatible with the nylon strings. Pot is fairly heavy for rolled-over metal-clad, wooden construction, very well-made and in very nice shape. Good playability, I like how these nylon strings work with the instrument. Head dia. = 12 in., 30 hooks. Scale length = 24 1/4 in. More pictures and discussion on my website, more photos on my BHO homepage. $400, usually around $25 shipping in lower 48 states. 6% sales tax in PA.

I changed out these parts in my banjo and now offer them to someone who wants great parts. They're a really good combination and they were made to fit each other, so no need to worry about bad fitting tone ring or flange. Add a resonator, neck and some hardware and you have a complete banjo that has potential to sound great. The parts are GREAT but I have no real use for the parts right now so I thought I'd let them go anyway. I recorded G2s upcoming album with these parts. Have a listen to hear what it sounds like: www.g2bluegrassband.com listen to the tracks "Mississippi" and "Gold Rush". I played this banjo onstage at the Ryman at the IBMA Awards Show 2009 and all over at IBMA and sure have gotten some great compliments about it. I'm taking offers. Email me at jkbanjo@gmail.com.

The cut on the rim does not match up well with the tonering I have for it. Looking for a prewar tube and plate rim to put into this banjo...would like to have that really dried out, hard wood...will send to Robin Smith and have him do the lathe work for the engraved tonering. Let me know if you have one for sale/trade. I have some really nice prewar parts to trade or can pay cash.
