I too found a DIxon banjo for not too much money too. My Dixon banjo is light as a feather. The whole instrument is mahogany. Seems like it's kind of the "SG" of banjos. I've owned a few banjos, only to sell them, usually out of frustration. This one, however, it's a keeper. If it's only from the sixties, someone during that time in it's life loved it, because it's been played heavily and the old man I bought it from, he bought it in the 60's. It must have been used when he bought it because he didn't play it at all. I believe it's a Japanese banjo, because of the look of the original tuners, but I'll tell you what... This is a great sounding banjo. Then again, I'm a cheap date sometimes. This banjo, though... it's got a curved mahogany back on the thing and the mahogany neck to boot. Real pretty, and real light-weight. I'll always keep an eye out for different banjos, but this lil' banjo, she's a singer. Must be that mahogany. I'll see about pix. I just got this banjo and I need to charge my batteries.
