Description

This is an all original banjo which is a copy of the banjo played by Earl Scruggs. This has a 3 ply hard rock maple shell with a curly maple resonator. The neck is also curly maple and the fretboard is ebony. There is a Hearts and Flowers inlay pattern with an extra inlay at the 1st fret just like the Scruggs Banjo. There is w/b/w binding on each side of the neck and resonator. One piece armrest and a Gibson Presto Tailpiece. This has a Kulesh tone ring stamped Gibson USA which is a big plus. The Kulesh ring is regarded as one of the best tone rings ever made. This also has original Gibson D Tuners which are stamped Gibson in the buttons. On top of all of this the label was hand signed by Earl Scruggs in light blue. That is just a beautiful signature. This is all original with the original case and original warranty card.

Condition

When I bought this there was a 5th string capo which I removed which left two pinsize holes on the side of the neck. They are pictured. This doesn’t have spikes but I can install them if you buy the banjo.

Other than those pin sized holes this is basically perfect. The wood and finish all look fantastic. The finish has an orange hue which was indicative of the Rich era. The hardware also looks incredible. This is clean all over. The neck and fretboard are also very clean with clean frets. There is a hint of wear on the first few frets but just a hint. The original case is also clean inside and out. This is a near perfect Greg Rich era Scruggs Standard.

Set Up

This has a new Huber frosted head by Remo and new Huber Truetone .10 gauge strings. The bridge is a Dotson bridge with an ebony cap. The head is set to 90 on a drum dial. This has great string height (action) and correct intonation. This plays like butter and sounds incredible. I can do custom set ups so if there is something particular that you would like done let me know.

This is a fantastic all original example of one of the finest banjos ever built. This looks great, sounds great and plays great and feels great to play. One of the finest examples of a Rich era Scruggs Standard I’ve seen.
