Older Hohner Archtop Banjo w/chipboard case - $399 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.
