Description

This banjo is a very rare and very special limited edition tribute to Ralph Stanley. This was made by Frank Neat who is regarded as possibly the best builder for the Pre War Gibson Style Banjo. This banjo has some similarities to an RB5 like the archtop ring, gold hardware and fiddle headstock. The banjo is absolutely gorgeous and in remarkable condition, this has been set up and is ready to go!

This has a thick maple shell, a curly maple neck and a curly maple resonator. The hardware is gold plated and this has a 2 piece flange and archtop tone ring. The neck and resonator each have white binding with RB5 style checker binding as well. The fretboard is rosewood with a wreath pattern. The 7th fret has 6oth Anniversary and the neck block says Stanley Tone. The headstock is inlaid Dr Ralph along with a wreath headstock pattern and an abalone truss rod cover. This banjo is gorgeous.

Finally the head has several signatures including Dr Ralph Stanley. This banjo is absolutely gorgeous, super rare and is a very special collector’s item. This includes a very nice hardshell case.

Condition

The banjo is in fantastic condition with almost no wear. There is some wear in the armrest but not much. The rest of the gold looks new. This banjo could not have been played much because the finish also shows almost no wear. Even the frets and fretboard are nearly perfect. This isn’t too surprising considering this is as special of a banjo as it is, banjos like this often are stored rather then played. This banjo is absolutely gorgeous and the case is clean as well.

Set Up

This has been set up at the Banjo Warehouse. The head is a white plastic head and has been set to 90. The bridge has no name and the intonation has been set. This has new Huber Truetone .10 gauge string and this is a remarkable player. These Stanley Tone Banjos do not come up for sale often and this is a top quality example.
