	Older Hohner Archtop Banjo w/chipboard case - $425 FREE S/H (US only) This is an older Hohner Archtop banjo in nice condition. It has an integrated aluminum rim and archtop tonering. The flange is separate and is chrome plate, as is the other hardware. It has spikes already installed at the 7th, 8th, 9th, & 10th frets. It has planetary style tuners, and a geared 5th string peg. The overall condition of this banjo is good. There are very few scratches overall, and a very little bit of rust on a few of the metal pieces. Very little fingerboard wear and no fret wear. I think this banjo must have had new frets installed recently. There are some scratches on the top side of the resonator where it looks like a strap with a metal clip might have scratched it. They are not deep, but noticeable if you are looking. The only other cosmetic issue includes two spots on the peghead of the banjo. One is a chip on the side, and the other looks like a mouse nibbled the very top. You can see these spots clearly in the photos. Nice MOP of pearl inlay on the fingerboard and headstock. Because of the archtop design, this is a really great sounding banjo for the money. It has volume and a bite, but is not overly harsh or tinny. It is easy to tune and holds tune well. The case that is included with this banjo is an older brown chipboard case with stickers all over it.

	Gold Tone CC-100RP - $405 FREE S/H (US only) This is a used Gold Tone CC-100RP banjo with no case. It has a sliding Shubb 5th string capo already installed. It has planetary style tuners which were added later, and a geared 5th string peg. This banjo with its current features would list new for $554. This banjo features a brass tone ring, snowflake inlay, straightline tailpiece, chrome hardware, maple resonator, maple rim & neck, and dual coordinator rods for increased neck stability and intonation. It also has a bone nut, which adds to the nice tone quality this banjo already has. This particular banjo has a nice sound and would be a great student or step-up banjo. The overall condition of this banjo is very good. There are no visible scratches, very little fret wear and fingerboard wear. Because the planetary tuners were added to this banjo outside of the factory, you can see where the guitar-style tuners used to be (screw holes and shape marks). There is also a chip that was repaired on the front side of the peghead veneer, circled in one of the pictures. These are cosmetic in nature and will not affect the playability of the banjo at all. No case for this banjo. Additional Views: Click photo for larger front view Peghead Back           Peghead Front           Back           Neck/Shubb Capo           Listen to MP3 of this instrument
