Immaculate,all original '79 mahogany GF 85.
This banjo looks like it's a few months old.Original frets and finish/never worked on.
I have installed a spike at 7 only.
Well placed,easy working spike.
It is in nearly unplayed condition and gorgeous in fit and finish.
I've played it a handful of times and love it,but we need firewood and driveway work done,so she's gotta go.
I took some pics when I put a clear head on,but it now has a new top frosted Remo.

There is a full set of Keiths and Jones pickup available for this banjo,but not at this price.
Original tuners are in excellent condition and work fine.
This banjo has an excellent set up.Full voice highs to lows.
Comes with Maple/Ebony Davis compensated bridge.The original Gold Star bridge is included.

This is a fine sounding,playing and looking mahogany flathead with great power and tone.
The neck is very fine feeling and plays effortlessly.

I can't emphasize enough the condition of this banjo.
It's never been damaged or worked on in any way.It simply wasn't hardly played.

Anyone will easily believe that this is a very nice,new banjo.
The pictures struggle to do it justice.
Still has the original "Made in Japan" peghead sticker.
New hsc.
