This 2015 Prucha Professional custom has a very nice straight grain Walnut neck and a dramatically figured crotch Walnut veneer resonator back and sides. JPrucha pearl logo inlaid at the top of the Ebony peghead veneer, and below it is a simple flower flourish and a decorative corner piece above the logo. Truss rod access before the bone nut. Set of 4 Nickel Rickard tuners and a Gotoh 5th string tuner, all with matching ivoroid buttons.

Radiused Gabon Ebony fingerboard with pearl stylized parallelogram inlays. 19th fret has an inlay block that reads “professional” in script engraving. Black side dot position markers on the bass side of the ivoroid fingerboard binding. Fingerboard extends two frets over the head for access to the high D note. Fingerboard is bound with multiple ivoroid binding with a black accent line.

The Crotch Walnut resonator has multiple ivoroid bindings at the top and bottom, and black accent lines that can be seen above, on the sides, and below. All Nickel hardware including a two-hump clamshell tailpiece. Prucha/Ptacek pre-war style tonering with a Prucha 1pc pot metal flange and tension hoop.

This banjo has very little sign of wear. The first four frets have some signs of wear but it could easily be milled out. All the hardware is in great shape and the head is in great shape. This is a great banjo with few signs of wear.
