Exc(+) condition. No evidence of player wear. Frets are like new. No dings or dents in resonator or back of neck. Edge of peghead has tiny mark at edge that might not be seen in the photos.

     Mahogany neck and resonator. Rosewood fingerboard. Ptacek 2-band pre-war style tuners, with Schaller 5th peg. Black binding at bottom edge of resonator and along fingerboard. Clever dot inlay pattern in fingerboard. "Bowtie" peghead shape.

     Made with same rim, tone ring, and all other parts as every Prucha banjo. "Pot" is made to pre-war Gibson dimensions.

     This is a fine banjo. There is nothing "fancy" about it, but when you factor in the high grade parts and the fact that it is handmade you start to understand. It has a fresh bridge and set-up and is ready to play. The sound is great - nothing but professional grade expression and power with bold, growling lows and fat treble.
