	Ks_5-picker says: 9/27/2014 8:01:40 AM I just got this banjo back from a minor setup at Mass St music in Lawrence Ks. The did a pretty good job,mostly needed a truss rod tweak. I'm really happy with the tone and feel of the neck. I've always felt comfortable with any Stelling banjo I've played,and this is the first one I've been able to own. I'm gonna like it. I sent a friend request to Buddy a couple months ago,but haven't heard back.I'd just like to visit with him about this banjo.etc. Can anybody help me get in touch with him? thanks...
