Just bought an ODE banjo. It is the one with aluminum resonator. There are no serial numbers. I was told it was likely an ODE C with D inlay. It's a great banjo. Is there an expert that can help me to identify or get a little more information as to year, model or anything else. Thanks for looking. Bob E

Forum Post: (untitled) Linked by 35planar 7 years ago: Looking for an ODE 5-string neck, pre-Baldwin, dowel stick or no dowel stick, long or standard, tuners or none as long as the truss rod, frets, and wood are decent with no twist. I know, seems futile.
