For the past year I have been periodically monitoring the classifieds here on the Hang-Out for Ramsey banjos; seeing how much they are selling for, the different models etc... One thing that I have noticed is that any particular ad does not stay up for very long; they all sell very quickly. Then it may be a week or two that there are no offerings, one or two ads come up and boom they are gone again. This really makes me happy because it is a great indicator that people recognize the quality of our instruments; also I know that my Ramsey's resale value is stable. Just some thoughts, have a great day friends :-)

I play it CH not 3 finger. I got it in a trade for a 1975 Guild J 50 guitar. I miss that guitar but don't have any regrets abiut the trade.
	guywolff says: 2/4/2015 11:27:42 AM I have an amazing Ramsey - Dobson neck (his signature curly maple)on what I am guessing is Mike's Woody 12"pot .. Its #1311 in the pictures to the right .. It is one of the easiest banjos I have ever played and its tone knocks the doors down at a jam .. I have been playing it with Nylgut strings lately .. MIke added some Boston diamond inlays so I have no idea what it would be worth if I ever let it go as it is a completely custom banjo.. I have used it on my last two CD's and cant imagine going into the recording studio without it .. My guess is it would be $2200.00 to have it made again today ay Mike's fair prices ..

	Ramsey190 Linked by Bum Ditty Brendan 6 years ago: Ramsey #190 made in Lebanon Ohio. It has a one of a kind aluminum Stelling tone ring. Geoff Stelling confirmed he made the tone ring and does not recall how it left his workshop.
