1994 Gibson Granada 5 string Banjo w Original Case

This is a gorgeous 1994 Granada which was made right after the Greg Rich era.  This has been inspected and set up at the Banjo Warehouse in Atlanta Georgia.

Description

The Greg Rich era is regarded as the Cream of the Crop of the modern Gibson Banjo and this was made about 1 year after the end of that era.  After the Greg Rich era the idea is to find a banjo that is as close to 1993 (the year that Greg Rich left Gibson) as possible.  This is a 1994 and also is the top of the line and in really good shape.

This has a 3 ply hard rock maple shell with a flame maple neck and resonator.  The hardware is gold with Granada engraving and is all original plus the gold is in great shape.  The flange is a one piece Gibson USA Flange and the tone ring is a Gibson USA Kulesh Tone Ring.  The Kulesh Rings are the best rings to find in the modern Gibson Banjo.  The armrest is a one piece armrest with Granada engraving and this has the original Presto Tailpiece also with Granada engraving.

The fretboard is rosewood with a rare Flying Eagle inlay pattern.  There is w/b/w binding on each side of the neck and resonator with Flying Eagle inlay on the headstock along with the Gibson logo.  The tuners are Gold Waverly Tuners.  This also has an original Gibson case which is in great shape.  The only part on this that isn’t original is the truss rod cover which is abalone and an upgrade which looks really good.

Gibson Granada Banjos have gotten very difficult to find especially from the early to mid 1990’s and before.

Condition

This banjo is in fantastic shape.  The neck and resonator are overall very clean but there are some small spots that some of the finish has been worn or faded.  The back of the neck behind the 5th fret and also right next to the 5th fret on the side of the neck have a couple of these spots.  Overall the finish looks great on the neck and resonator with a lot of shine.

The gold hardware looks fantastic.  There is very little Gold that has been worn off and the gold also has a lot of shine.  That is very significant because at this point a lot of the gold on these 1990’s Gibson banjos has been worn off or severely tarnished.  The fretboard is clean with clean frets.  There is a hint of wear on the first few frets but it isn’t much.  The rest of the frets are clean.  There are spikes at the 7th, 9th and 12th frets.  We can add spikes for free if you would like to this banjo.  The original case is definitely clean inside and out with no functional issues at all.

Set Up

This has been professionally set up at the Banjo Warehouse in Atlanta.  This has a new Huber frosted head which is set to 90 on a drum dial.  The bridge is a Snuffy Smith bridge which is set with correct intonation.  The strings are new Huber Truetone .10 gauge strings and the action is set nicely.  This is also fully adjustable with 2 coordinator rods and a truss rod.  This banjo is a great looking banjo that is set up to play and sound incredible.

It has probably been over 6 months since I have had a different Granada for sale (that wasn’t Pre War) and these have gotten HARD to find.  The Granada has been played by players like Earl Scruggs, Sonny Osborne and JD Crowe and is a legendary banjo in bluegrass music.
