The Sullivan V-35 story can be found on their website.
sullivanbanjo.com/banjos/v35-mahogany/
This banjo represents the latest and IMHO greatest attempt by an American banjo company at creating a genuine pre-war Gibson replica. This banjo comes with a letter from Sullivan stating that it contains the same components as the V-35. That means it has the FF Rim, V-35 Tone ring, Gill Resonator, etc. To the t this one has the pre war bark and growl. A VERY, VERY powerful banjo.
This banjo is Research and Development Sample #4. It was sent to various pros to get their input and this banjo then became the V-35. Having the same components in this banjo as the V-35 kind of makes this the very first V-35. This one is mahogany as you can see in the pics.
This is a very fine banjo and is being offered at a reasonable rate due to the crack in the heel (take a look at the pics.) I explain the repair in the Youtube Video below. In short this repair has been stable for over 2 months now with no tuning, intonation, or warping issues, etc. I am offering this banjo at a very reduced rate compared to its value due to this repair which was done by me.
Will be shipped free to CONT USA in a hardshell case. Strap not included.
Here is the video of me explaining and playing it
