What to do with Epiphone Tenor

Tuesday, July 10, 2007

An Epiphone tenor banjo was passed on to me. It looks like a recent made-in-Asia model, low-middle price/quality range. I'd like to sell or trade it but don't know squat about banjos.  (I play guitar and dobro.) eBay and other sites are no help in identifying and pricing this banjo. I could use some help. Description:



Very dark wood resonator/neck. Gold eagle on back.

19 frets.

Chrome hardware.

Straight out (not under head) tuning pegs, plastic.

Gibson mark above nut/over truss rod.

There is no serial number or model name on it. (Inside the resonator?)

There's a bit of wear on the 2nd and 3rd frets, but otherwise it is in great shape. Very attractive wood. It sounds good to me, but then I'm not an experienced banjoist.


If anyone could tell me more abou this, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

MEC
