A nice 5-string conversion with a neck made by Ernie Wells (we are told), this resonator banjo has a great sound. The white bound maple resonator has been refinished to match the flamed maple neck. Other features include a 2-piece flange, no hole archtop tone ring, and ¾” maple rim. This instrument is in excellent-minus condition.
