EPIPHONE RECORDING A TENOR BANJO  ON HOLD                                                                                                                               18 photos

American black walnut neck, rim and resonator, ebony fingerboard, pearl inlays, gold plated hardware,  original Grover tuners . The neck is a modern reproduction (with steel reinforcement bar as per original) using the inlays and peghead overlay from an Epiphone  Recording A plectrum model. The work has been done to a very high standard. So high in fact that it's almost impossible to tell it's not original. This has just had a professional fret level, crown and general set up and plays perfectly. Original Grover tuners and repro clamshell tailpiece. This is from my personal collection of banjos (you'll notice it's currently strung left handed because of this) and I'm only selling this because I've bought an Epiphone bandmaster. If I hadn't there is no way that I would be parting with this cracking banjo. Classic Epiphone power and projection. Just add talent and you can sound like Gerry O'Connor who used one of these to record his CD 'No Place like Home'.  Comes with period hard case in a pretty tatty condition. A very desirable banjo amongst Irish players.  PRICE: £1800   ON HOLD

*What appears to be a light thumbprint just left of centre on the resonator on photo no.14 is in fact just a reflection!
