Description
This is a copy of the banjo that was played for years by Earl Scruggs. This has a curly maple resonator with a 3 ply hard rock maple shell. The hardware is nickel. This also has a curly maple neck with an ebony fretboard. The fretboard has an Hearts and Flowers inlay pattern. There is one extra inlay at the first fret. This is because that is what the original Earl Scruggs banjo had. This has an incredible tone that is sweet, cutting, loud and present. This really turns heads.
This has a Sullivan tone ring which is original to the banjo. We took the banjo apart and the serial number matches the bottom of the tone ring and the inside of the shell. This may be why this banjo is so top notch.
The Greg Rich banjos of the late 1980’s in particular had a very special sound. There was an attitude of excellence at the Gibson factory that shined most from 1987-1990. This is one of those banjos.
The banjo is exceptional and includes a rare original brown case. If you want a Scruggs Standard this is the banjo to get. This really has the sound and feels incredible.
Condition
Overall this is in fantastic condition. The resonator and hardware on the pot look great. This is clean. The neck is in great shape with some wear on the back behind the first few frets. The new frets are in great shape. The fretboard itself does show some wear, but that is not serious. This still feels great. The banjo has no damage, no functional issues and minimal wear. There are spikes at the 7th-9th frets.
Set Up
This has been set up here at the Banjo Warehouse. This plays great with correct intonation. The head is set to 90 on a drum dial all the way around the head. This has a clean frosted Remo head and new Huber Truetone .10 gauge strings. The bridge is a Sullivan Bridge. This looks great, feels great, plays great and has a professional set up. This is the Scruggs Banjo to get because it has the look, sound and is priced right!!!
