Description

This is a copy of the Granada that was played for years by Earl Scruggs. This is a curly maple banjo with a 3 ply hard rock maple shell. The neck is also curly maple with an ebony fretboard. This has a Hearts and Flowers inlay pattern with one extra inlay at the first fret. This is to duplicate the Scruggs Granada. The hardware is nickel because the gold wore off of Earl Scruggs Granada. There is white binding with black pinstripes on each side of the neck and resonator. The armrest is a one piece armrest and this has a Presto Tailpiece. The truss rod cover features Earl Scruggs signature and the headstock is also inlaid. This is all original with a Kulesh tone ring and Gibson flange. The case is also a Greg Rich era Gibson Hardshell Case.

Condition

This particular banjo is stunning. The Curly Maple looks exquisite. The finish and hardware both glow. There is a bit of finish worn around the 3rd fret on the side of the neck. It’s not much finish wear and the rest is barely touched. The metal is clean everywhere and this really is attractive. The neck is also clean with just a touch of wear on the back of the neck towards the nut. It is minor. The fretboard is also clean with clean frets. There are spikes at the 7th and 9th frets. The banjo just screams nice!!! The original hardshell case is also clean inside and out.

Set Up

This has been set up here at the shop. The banjo has nice string height (action) and correct intonation. The head is set to 90 on a drum dial all the way around the head. The banjo has a new Huber frosted head and new Huber Truetone .10 gauge strings. The bridge is also a Huber bridge with an ebony cap. This looks, plays, sound and feels incredible. This is one very special banjo being a Scruggs Standard but the fact this is a Rich era and so clean really takes it over the top.
