Icons of the 60's, these banjos honor the brief, brilliant--but ultimately sad--legacy of California luthier, Art Gariepy.

Greetings all, and thanks for having me in this small, exclusive group.
I just purchased a banjo here in the hangout marketplace that has a mix of a Liberty pot and a Gariepy neck. Just paid for it, don’t have it yet.
Seller tells me the neck is straight and true, but I’m curious about what has kept it that way? Good woodworking and wood selection? Or is there a rod or tube in the necks?
Does anyone here know if the Gariepy necks have any additional reinforcement? This one is a 5 piece neck, looks to be mahogany.
Thanks!
