New. Adirondack Spruce top with single Ivoroid binding. Mahogany back, sides and neck also with Ivoroid binding. Radiused fingerboard with pearl dot inlays. Nickel Waverly tuners with Ivoroid buttons. Ebony peghead overlay. Sound is very strong and powerful with great projection. - See more at: http://gregboyd.com/instruments.html?...

Exc condition. Minimal previous player wear - slight fret wear with no dents, some small dings and small lacquer chips. Nickel Schaller tuners. All original nickel hardware. Nicely figured flamed Maple neck and resonator and rim. The outer play of 3-ply rim shows very nice flame figure to match resonator side walls. Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard, peghead overlay and heelcap. Grained ivoroid bindings on resonator and neck. Two-pc neck, with attractive Rosewood stringers along center of back of neck with thin Maple between them. Very nice decorative multiple wood layers showing on sides of fingerboard, peghead and heelcap. Concentric circles in back of resonator. R.R. spikes at 7th, 9th and 10th frets for 5th string capo'ing. Tasteful inlays of abalone and pearl in peghead and fingerboard. Pot construction is with 3-ply Maple rim, bracket shoes and plate flange. This system allows a player to easily change from resonator "bluegrass" banjo to open-back frailing banjo, just by taking off the resonator and flange plate. This is a fine banjo that would be a nice addition to anyone's collection. It plays great and sounds fine. - See more at: http://gregboyd.com/instruments.html?...

Exc. Condition. Almost no sign of fret wear. Some light marks here and there on resonator. Double-cut peghead. Flat Rosewood fingerboard with diamonds and bows inlay pattern. Don Elkins' old wood 3-ply Maple rim. Prucha/Ptacek pre-war style flathead tonering. Pre-war style 1-pc pot metal flange. Fingerboard and resonator have white binding. Mahogany resonator back has 2 multiple concentric circles. Waverly 2-band tuners. Speed neck. Players are used to Will Williams hitting very close to the mark to the old pre-war sound in his Mahogany banjos. This is no exception. Mr Williams carefully mates tone ring weight with wood rim density, to make sure the vibrations that resound thru the tone ring are handed off in a manner to fully activate the wood rim. Again, its a very good Mahogany sound. - See more at: http://gregboyd.com/instruments.html?...

New. Aluminum uni-pot construction, with shoe and plate flange. In my experience, these aluminum rim banjos have a much better sound than most of the thin multi-ply wood rims. Tastefully appointed, with nice simple inlays in the peghead and finerboard and bound resonator. Planetary tuners. This banjo is our main choice for a young player or for an adult starter. These are made well enough, and sound good enough, that for many people this banjo would be 2 or 3 steps higher than he one they had when they started learning banjo. These don't come perfect from the factory, however, and we do lots of tweaking and 'dialing-in' when setting these up. But the reward in tone is worth the effort in set-up. New from Saga, they retail for a little over $900 including the Superior Hard Case. But that doesn't include the $50 of professional set-up that we do to each one as they arrive here. But we offer it to you, of course, for lots less... - See more at: http://gregboyd.com/instruments.html?...

New. Maple banjo. Exciting new model from Jaroslav Prucha featuring many fine components. 24-fret radiused fingerboard showing beautiful new inlay pattern. This inlay pattern breaks tradition by spilling over from main fret position with tendrils flowing into frets above and below. Unique peghead flourish. JPrucha logo inlaid at top of peghead. All inlays very high-grade Abalone. Abalone truss rod cover. Highly figured Maple resonator and neck. Multiple tortoise bindings on top and back edge of resonator and fingerboard, with wooden marquetry purfluing next to binding. Hardware is a tasteful mixture of black nickel and gold with elaborate, deep hand engraving everywhere. Gold 2-band tuners with gold Schaller 5th. You don't have to be sitting down to enjoy the banjo, but it is probably a good idea to be sitting down the first time you see it. - See more at: http://gregboyd.com/instruments.html?...

Exc. Condition. No dings, no dents, no wear. Greg says: 'This is a really well-made Gibson Copy with Great Sound!' "Old Factory Floor" 3-ply rim, made from 140+ year-old Maple. Gary Price no-hole flathead tonering. Highly figured maple neck and resonator. Multiple WH/BK/WH bindings on top and back of resonator, and along fingerboard. RB-4 style "flying eagle" inlay pattern. Seems to be Prucha hardware throughout. Ptacek pre-war style 2-band tuners and Schaller 5th string peg, all with matching Ivoroid buttons. This is a very good professional banjo with great playability and sound. - See more at: http://gregboyd.com/instruments.html?...
