1996 Gibson Earl Scruggs Standard 5 string Banjo

Description
This is definitely a nice find. Overall very clean mid 1990’s Scruggs Standard. These banjos have gotten super hot and we cannot hold onto them. This is all original and includes an original Gibson hardshell case.
The banjo is a copy of the banjo that Earl Scruggs played. This is essentially a Granada with nickel hardware and an extra inlay on the first fret of an ebony fretboard. The gold on the Scruggs Granada wore down to nickel and he added an extra inlay when he had his fretboard redone to ebony.
This is a Curly Maple banjo with a Hard Rock Maple Shell. The neck is curly maple also with an ebony fretboard. This is all original. The banjo is absolutely gorgeous and this is the perfect banjo for any bluegrass lover or fan of Earl Scruggs.
Condition
This is definitely in great shape. The wood is clean and the finish is also clean. All the way around. The hardware is glowing, absolutely beautiful. There is light wear on the armrest. The only cosmetic issue is a very light crack in the top of the fretboard right above the tension hoop. It is pictured. That is definitely not a functional issue. The frets have very light wear on the first few frets and I do mean light. And it is on just the first few frets. This has been set up here by us and it plays great!! This is such a good sounding banjo that cuts and really has a fantastic tone.
This is the Scruggs Standard sound. There is a certain tone that comes out of a Scruggs Standard and this has it. The banjo is not a Rich era but it is very close so it essentially is a Rich era Scruggs. Greg Rich left in 1993 so this was made with the same parts by the same people but Greg Rich wasn’t in the shop.
The case is also in fantastic shape. This is going to make someone very happy and I’m so glad we have this at the Banjo Warehouse!!!
