FLAWS:
Normal scuffing for an old banjo. Pot metal is heavily tarnished and/or worn.
Pot was slathered with blue and yellow paint. I was able to get most of the paint off without removing the original plack paint on the pot. Pot was been polished through the metal plating to the brass.
ON THE PLUS SIDE:
Very good tone & playability.
NOTES:
Uses friction tuners. The banjo stays in tune.
Nice peghead shape. Skin head rests on wooden lip inside pot.
