(Excuse the state of the room. It in no way reflects how I treat my instruments)
I purchased this banjo from Bob Smakula in late 2012. I like it a lot, but I purchased an Ome North Star recently and I have no need for multiple instruments. I recently put a Moon bridge on it. It also has a Schubb 5th string capo. If you need any other pictures or a video, let me know. I realize these are sort of dark.
Here's Bob's description:
"Rim is from a tenor banjo made by Slingerland for who ever owned the S.S. Stewart brand name circa 1925.
Neck was made by an unknown maker. Maple with an ebony 32" scale fretboard
Strap knob under the 11th fret for good balance
5 star geared tuners
cool 1960's soft case (stiff cardboard) with brown alligator print included"
It has a few dings here and there, because it's a fairly old banjo. It has a great clawhammer / folky fingerstyle tone. It comes with a re-purposed mandolin strap. Trust me, you're going to need the strap. Longnecks are notoriously top heavy.
