I would died if it was stolen, It name is Old Betsy. I love it. the logo of Eagle looks simlar to the Seahawks logo which is cool because I am a Seahawks fan. I have Sruggs tuners on it from another banjo I had. I have Buddy Watcher, Earl Cruz and just recently Dick Weissman autographs on the skin

I would be upset if it was stolen. It was a great banjo to learn to play the banjo with. I did evenly trade it for better banjo. my Eagle. I wish I still had it for a 2nd banjo.
