Description

I am amazed at this banjo, this is absolutely the most clean Rich era Scruggs Standard I have seen.

The Earl Scruggs Standard is a copy of the banjo that was played by Earl Scruggs. These are the best selling Gibson Banjo and the Greg Rich Scruggs Banjos are the cream of the crop.

This has a 3 ply hard rock maple shell. The neck and resonator are curly maple. This has an ebony fretboard with a Hearts and Flowers inlay. There is an extra inlay at the first fret to match the Scruggs original banjo. This has all original nickel hardware including a Gibson USA one piece flange and a very early Gibson USA Kulesh Tone Ring. The early Kulesh Rings had an AFP stamp which this has. This also has the original Gibson Keith D Tuners with the Gibson logo on the buttons.

The inside has a label that is hand signed by Earl Scruggs. The signature is blue which is the most sought after color by collectors. This also has an original case which looks new.

I want to mention there is no checking on the finish on the resonator which is almost unheard of for Rich era banjos. There was a common finish issue that led to a lot of checking and this has none. That is an indication that this was very well taken care of.

If you want the perfect Scruggs Standard this is it.

Condition

This is in freaky good condition. There are a couple of tiny marks on the surface of the resonator which are almost impossible to see. That is pretty much the extent of the wear.

The wood and finish all look fantastic. The fretboard is clean with clean frets. The frets also look almost untouched. The hardware is beautiful and truly glows. This is super clean and the original case also looks near mint. This is stunning.

Set Up

This has been professionally set up at the Banjo Warehouse in Atlanta Georgia. This has a new Huber frosted head by Remo which is set to 90 on a drum dial. This has a new Huber 5/8 bridge which is set with correct intonation. The strings are new Huber Truetone .10 gauge strings and the action feels great. This is also fully adjustable.

This banjo is LOUD with a very clean and present tone. I am thrilled to have this in the shop and have not seen something so perfect for a long long time, if ever.
