• Front and side of Gibson Earl Scruggs Standard Resonator Banjo (2002)
    This fine signature model of the late, great Earl Scruggs, is based on the Gibson Granada banjo that Earl famously played for many years. It features a flamed maple neck and resonator, adorned with a sunburst finish. The banjo is equipped with a Kulesh flathead tone ring, a 3-ply maple rim, and a 22-fret ebony fingerboard. It boasts appointments of pearl hearts and flowers inlay. Quite the banger! This banjo comes with the original hard shell case and was built in the USA. On consignment, it is in Very Good to Excellent Condition (VG-EC), with a disabled locking latch (combination unknown) and some corrosion on 3 brackets and the corner of the armrest.
