A good looking and playing banjo with a nicely made repro neck and 11” Fiberyskyn head. Our best guess is this is possibly an original Electric rim with a modern, but nice 5-string neck and a different dowel stick. Hardshell case included. An excellent sounding openback banjo, this instrument is in very good to excellent condition.
