Is it possible to get an 06 nickel sunflower upgraded to gold/engraved ? It has better than average wood for a sunflower.

I recently bought a chief but it's a different thing altogether and nothing comes close to my stellings. I have three, and have had another. My good friend wanted it who played with Wyatt rice at the time so I let him have it. I just wanted to spruce up the best playing banjo I ever put in my hands. But I can play it in nickel. For 25 years I've told everyone how good stellings are , and have never said a bad thing about them. I will continue to do that as long as I can pick one up.

The other option would be to buy all new parts and get it done as if you were buying a new banjo. We could work out a trade agreement for your old parts. We don't sell new pot parts outside of a new banjo or within such a trade. Geoff

	Geoff Stelling says: 4/26/2017 2:12:54 PM By the way, it might be a good time to remind everyone that I will be at IBMA again in Raleigh this September for the full week. I will have some banjos and will try to remember to bring an archtop. I will also have my new model the Afton Star with no metal tonering, a very hot seller lately, and I'll try to have a newer light weight tonering to display in one model or another. As we get older, lighter sounds better....
