Description

The Earl Scruggs Standard is a copy of the banjo that was played by Earl Scruggs. This would be a Granada with nickel hardware and an ebony fretboard as opposed to Gold Hardware with a rosewood fretboard. The Earl Scruggs Standard is absolutely the best selling model of Gibson Banjo and has a tone that only the Earl Scruggs Standard has.

This has a 3 ply hard rock maple shell with a curly maple neck and resonator. The hardware is nickel and is all original including a Gibson USA one piece flange and a Gibson USA Kulesh Tone Ring. The neck and resonator are curly maple each with w/b/w/ binding. The fretboard is ebony with Hearts and Flowers. This has 2 Waverly Tuners and 2 Keith D Tuners and since this is an Earl Scruggs Standard I don’t know if the Keith Tuners are factory or not. These did come stock with Keith Tuners for a period in the 90’s.

This particular Banjo is exceptional and is an extraordinary example of a top quality Earl Scruggs Standard. This is set up with everything including Keith Tuners and a very nice original Gibson Hardshell Case.

Condition

This banjo is definitely in exceptional shape and has also been professionally cleaned at the Banjo Warehouse. There is a scratch on the side of the resonator which is a few inches long but extremely thin. I do have some pictures included on the Banjo Warehouse site. That is minor and also the most serious and almost only wear on the banjo.

The banjo has been disassembled and all of the metal has been buffed to a shine. The wood has been waxed and shines as well. There are spikes at the 7th, 9th and 10th frets. The banjo is gorgeous and has been cleaned and looks great. The case is also in super clean condition.

Set Up

This has also been 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 and the intonation is set. The strings are new Huber Truetone .10s and the banjo plays great. This is set up for maximum tone, volume and playability.

If you want a top end Earl Scruggs Standard this is it. The Keith Tuners and original case are a $700 value alone as well.
