Exc(-) condition. Moderate fret wear. Area at back edge of resonator where finish rubbed through. One mark on back of neck below 6th fret. Small amount of slight marks on back of resonator.

     Highly figured Maple Resonator and neck. Multiple ivoroid bindings around resonatro and fingerboard. Hearts & Flowers inlay pattern in flat Ebony fingerboard. Five star tuners, with waverly 5th. R.R. spikes installed at 7th, 9th and 11th frets for 5th string capo'ing.

     I think this banjo would be close to Frank Neat's current "Kentucky" model, but comes from an era where many makers would take commissions to hand-build "Gibson" copies. This banjo does have Gibson logo inlaid in Ebony peghead overlay, as well as Mastertone block inlaid at 20th fret.
     This banjo sounds good. It has no problems and is ready to play.
