The peghead has a cross inlay under the Stelling logo, with four peghead tuners plus a side-mounted fifth-string peg, all with cream-colored buttons. The fretboard carries cross and leaf-style inlays and a Golden Cross plate at its end, and the peghead, fretboard and resonator all have cream binding. On the pot you will find a flange with leaf-shaped cutouts, an armrest, a tailpiece stamped Stelling and a single coordinator rod.

Case
Comes with its original case. The original case is almost perfect, which usually tells us this banjo hasn’t been taken around much.
