I recently purchased a previously owned Deering ii banjo that is in mint condition for $1600.00. I thought this was a fair price. I know that I could have bought one new for couple hundred dollars more, but that's ok. This is one sweet banjo.

Question: What is the choice of string gauges for this banjo?
