I didn't wanna do it. I'm down to the last of the last of my collection and thought that I would take a select couple of instruments with me to my grave. But there will undoubtedly be very limited space in my casket and I am reluctantly prepared to part with my two Whyte Laydie banjos.
This one is from 1902 before the Fairbanks factory burned down in 1904 and the Vega company acquired the design, naming rioghts, and remaining inventory. The faithfully reproduced neck by Leo Coulson of Intermountain Guitar & Banjo is crafted from natural, unstained light-colored blonde maple. The engraved gryphon and fingerboard inlays are true to originals.
This is the best of both worlds--an original vintage Whyte Laydie pot but with a custom modern reproduction neck for ultimate playability.
It is in excellent condition and ships with a hardshell case free to CONUS addresses
I hate to see these go but they belong with someone who will cherish and play them with enjoyment and at my age I'm a desperado waiting for the train.
