An openback banjo with simple appointments and great old-time sound, this Chuck Lee Chalk Mountain model features a walnut neck and a curly maple 11" rim with a walnut cap and an exotic wood tone ring. The ebony fretboard features a long Texas scooped for easier over-the-neck playing. The side-grooved tension hoop means no hooks on top, making it comfortable without an armrest. This instrument is in excellent condition.
