Pre-Owned 1968 Eriksen 5-String Banjo With Case

A piece of local Ozark history!  This banjo was handmade by a luthier in Eureka Springs Arkansas, and coincidentally was the same man who build the co version neck for my dads 1927 Vega banjo (which I still have and love). 

The condition on this one is playable and overall solid.  And though it’s ready to play it doesn’t “need” anything, there are a few improvements and repairs which could be made. Such as a split in the heel cap, and the full length coordinator rod was changed out at some point and replaced with a shorter bolt on assembly.  All fixable and improvable, and easy enough to do for a repairman who does that sort of thing. And again, it wouldn’t “have” to be done and as such this banjo is just priced to sell. 

This banjo is super cool and sounds surprisingly good!  And where else can you find an completely American artisan made banjo, made from scratch (even the tonering was hand poured) for this kind of price?
