Description

This is a copy of a banjo that was played by Earl Scruggs. This is a Granada but with nickel hardware and a rosewood fretboard with bowtie inlay. The reason this has the rosewood and bowtie is Earl sent his banjo back to Gibson in 1949 to get a new fretboard and at the time they just put on what they were using which was rosewood with a bowtie inlay. It was this job in 1949 that gives this banjo the name 49 Classic.

This has a 3 ply hard rock maple shell with a flame maple neck and resonator. The hardware is nickel and all original including a Gibson USA stamped one piece flange and a Gibson USA Kulesh Tone Ring. The fretboard is rosewood with a bowtie inlay pattern. There is w/b/w binding on each side of the neck and resonator, a one piece armest and a Presto Tailpiece. This is a remarkably clean all original Gibson 49 Classic and also includes a very clean original Gibson case.

Condition

This is truly a super clean banjo that almost looks new. All of the hardware looks fantastic with a nice glow. The wood all looks great and also really shines. The neck and fretboard are both clean with frets that look like they have never been touched. There are spikes at the 7th-10th frets. The original case is also super clean inside and out.

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 and this is set with correct intonation. The strings are new Huber Truetone .10 gauge strings and the action is set nicely. This also is adjustable with 2 coordinator rods and a truss rod.

This is a very rare and a very special banjo. Not only that this is very clean and has been professionally set up to play and sound its best.
