Frank Neat Stanleytone 5 string Banjo NUMBER 2 2ND ONE MADE
ALL OF OUR SALES INCLUDE A 7 DAY SATISFACTION GUARANTEE
Description
The Stanlleytone is a special commemorative banjo made by Frank Neat for Ralph Stanley. This happens to be the 2nd Stanley Tone Banjo made which certainly is special.
This has a birdseye maple neck and resonator with an ebony fretboard. The fretboard has a special inlay pattern which sort of resembles a custom Wreath inlay. This has white binding on each side of the neck and resonator and SPARKLE GOLD binding. This banjo is gorgeous.
The hardware is gold and engraved and features a 1 piece flange and an archtop tone ring. The engraving on this is incredible and covers all of the hardware.
These do not come up for sale often but definitely not #2. This is a stunning work of art that also could be looked at as a piece of banjo history. This comes with a vintage Lifton hardshell case.
Condition
Overall the banjo is in fantastic shape. There is a bit of cracking on the bottom of the banjo pot but not too much, and the binding is secure. There also is a fair amount of checking in the finish. Other then those 2 things the banjo is nearly new in appearance.
The gold is clean and we took this apart and cleaned it all the way. Other then all the checking the finish is really clean and looks fantastic with the birdseye maple.
The frets have a bit of wear on the first few frets. The rest look untouched. The fretboard is clean and this has spikes at frets 7,9, and 10.
The Lifton case has some wear on the outside but the case has no structural or functional issues.
Set Up
This has a new Remo frosted head which is set to 90. The bridge is a Sosebee and this has new Huber strings.
This is a special banjo and I am thrilled to have it. If you have any questions please reach out.
