Description

The Flint Hill Special is a Fully Engraved and Gold Plated Limited Edition Banjo that was hand signed by Earl Scruggs. These are some of the nicest Banjos that were made by Gibson and this one is in fantastic condition and sounds and plays incredible.

This has a 3 ply hard rock maple shell with a curly maple neck and resonator. The hardware is gold and EVERYTHING is engraved. There is engraving on the flange, armrest, tailpece, tension hoop, tone ring, all of it. The thumb screws have abalone buttons which is a very nice touch and all of the tuners are gold plated. This has Gold Keith D Tuners which are original.

There is a label on the inside that was hand signed by Earl Scruggs which is a huge bonus.

The fretboard is ebony with a Hearts and Flowers inlay pattern. There is an extra inlay at the first fret which is how Earl Scruggs banjo was inlaid. The side of the neck and resonator each have w/b/w binding and there is abalone binding around the side of the ebony headstock overlay and an abalone truss rod cover. There is even an abalone block on the back of the neck heel. This is a very very nice banjo that had a lot of time and attention put into this. This is all original and includes the original Flint Hill Special hardshell case.

Condition

This banjo is in gorgeous condition. There is a bit of wear in the gold on the armrest and that is about all of the wear on this.

The gold is gorgeous and the flange, hoop and ring all look untouched. The tailpiece also looks new with gorgeous and shining gold. There is some light button scratching on the resonator but it’s not bad. That could definitely be buffed out. The neck and fretboard are in beautiful condition with beautiful frets. There is a hint of wear on the second fret but the rest of the frets look fantastic. The case is super clean inside and out.

This is definitely in really good shape, not mint but definitely gorgeous.

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 new Huber Bridge and this also has new Huber Truetone .10 gauge strings. The bridge is set with correct intonation. The strings are set with nice action that is fully adjustable. This banjo plays like butter and sounds incredible.

This is a very special banjo that is very hard to find. This is gorgeous and is an angelic sounding banjo.
