This is an
excellent 40 hole arch top tone ring two piece flange pre World War Two Gibson
Mastertone. I built the reproduction neck for the owner around 35 years ago.
All metal parts
are original to the banjo with the exception of the armrest. The original
was missing. It was replaced with a reproduction armrest engraved and plated for this
project. This style 5 has the smaller 1/4" diameter coordinator rods.
The neck rod
is adjustable one way. Adjustment is
accessed at the heel of the neck. The truss rod cover in the peghead is
decorative to match the original appearance. This is the rod we used in all our
necks up to around 10 - 12 years ago. It works as it should. The neck relief is
proper.
The finish
and frets are in very good condition. The banjo looks untouched from when this
project was delivered to my customer 30 years ago.
The original
neck was not included when this banjo was purchased by my customer for the
conversion to 5 string.
The banjo
comes with a new hard shell case.
