This is a very attractive banjo in excellent condition. Very clean with no marks or dents, and all chrome parts display no signs of wear or tarnishing. It has had very little use since I bought it new in 2007, and it looks like a brand-new instrument.
It is a budget instrument however, and would possibly suit someone starting out on tenor-banjo who is looking for something clean and playable at an affordable price.
Comes complete with Stagg hard-shell case, with black furry-lining, internal accessory compartment, and 4 chrome latches. Case is also in very good condition.
