Description

This is a walnut banjo with gold hardware. The armrest and tailpiece have been engraved. The neck is also walnut with a rosewood fretboard. The fretboard has a gorgeous inlay pattern, and I do mean gorgeous. The headstock has Baldwin ODE inlaid along with some other nice work. There is white binding on each side of the neck and resonator. The banjo is all original and really a special banjo. Baldwin ODE was regarded as the best banjo on earth for some time. This is one of those banjos!! This also includes a Superior Hardshell Case.

Condition

The banjo is definitely in great overall condition. The gold on the hardware has basically rubbed off but there is still some. The tailpiece was the least affected. The armrest also has some gold showing still. There is a light amount of gold that can be seen on the flange and it looks like the tension hoop and lugs it is basically all gone. The finish looks really good on this banjo, clean with limited signs of age. The fretboard is clean as are the frets. There is just a hint of wear on the first few frets. The headstock looks incredible. The banjo has zero issues and is in really good condition for a banjo that is 50 years old!! The case is also in great shape.

Set Up

The banjo was set up here at the shop. This has nice string height (action) and really feels great to play. The banjo has correct intonation. The head has been set to 90 on a drum dial all the way around the head. This has a no name frosted head that looks new. The bridge is a Grover bridge with an ebony cap. This banjo looks great, sounds great and plays like a dream!!
