	Pauls Pretty Good Stuff says: 6/1/2017 10:15:22 PM Ooooh! That's pretty. Same price as a used Prius and and no replaceable batteries. Which is more fun and worth more 10 years from now? PB
	wesrichards says: 6/2/2017 1:45:48 AM This old and this beautiful? There has to be a story that goes with it. Maybe the Gryphon people know it. Five grand was almost two year's salary for me in 1961/2.
	PickinFool says: 6/2/2017 6:39:00 AM Oh, no! I would never spend that kind of money on a long neck. Or any banjo for that matter. Plus, I'm too old.

CleitusDELETED says: 6/11/2017 3:51:17 PM The interesting thing is the really different thing is the dowel stick - the others mentioned (tuners, holes in the tone ring) are just cosmetic changes!! Give them a few months and offer $3k cash if you really want it.
	dgrayman says: 6/11/2017 4:28:31 PM Oh my Gawd...what a lovely Seeger!!! The price is a bit steep, but if you want a 28-bracket with a wooden dowel, this might be the one! About a year ago ago, I found mine ...SN 100184 and it came with a factory installed resonator and a custom dark finish! Boy does it ring!! Please let us know what you decide!!!
	john bange says: 6/13/2017 10:59:41 AM I have no affiliation with Intermountain banjo in SLC other than buying a few banjos from Leo but if you are looking for a Seeger, he has 4 and they are all very nice...3 Vega's and a Deering/Martin commemorative...all way less than the beauty Gryphon is selling...a 61 dowel stick and 2 minty corr-rod models.
	PickinFool says: 6/13/2017 11:17:55 AM I've been drooling over those Seegers for months now. Unfortunately I have a Deering-Vega Pete Seeger Long Neck that a purchased a couple of years ago. Not sure how it compares with an early '60's Vega like the ones Leo has, but it's a good banjo for me. But trust me, if I didn't have the Deering-Vega one of those three original Vegas would be in my possession!
	pastorharry says: 6/25/2017 12:51:57 AM It's a 24 bracket, not 28...but still nice. I have an identical banjo, albeit in rougher condition...but the price was right, it was given to me !

	Old Gray Coat Linked by Bluesage 7 months ago: My first attempt at working out this great Tony Rice composition on the open long neck. It lays our pretty well!

MP3: What Would The Prophets Say? Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: The religious basis of authority in the Middle East (or anywhere for that matter) is the source of a lot of suffering and is unsustainable. The violence is mostly perpetrated on women and children.
MP3: You'll Never Leave Texas Alive Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A sad murder ballad of a sort. Some murderers wear nice clothes and use pens and paper to kill and never see their victims.
MP3: Ten Years On Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A lament, written for the 10th anniversary of the Sandy Hook school shooting. Sadly there are still parents who are irresponsible or foolish, and parents who suffer as a result.
MP3: Shutdown The System Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: The pursuit of money is alienating, enervating, and exhausting. Here’s a song of resistance to finance capitalism.
MP3: Take The Wheel Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A song about mentorship, inspired by my mentor and HIS mentors too, that takes the form of the story of a ship’s mate being “shown the ropes”. The old sea captain may also have been a long-neck player
