For sale 2013 Hatfield custom with Bill Blaylock unplated tone ring. Mahogany neck and resonator, wreath inlay pattern, Hatfield .656 compensated bridge, no fret wear, spikes at 7, 8 and 9 and Superior Fiberglass case in nice condition.
I bought this Hatfield Custom a year and a half ago and it came with a tone hoop. Last spring I went Bill Blaylocks shop and he cut the rim and installed one of his incredible unplated tone rings on Arthur Hatfield's beautiful banjo. The reason I am selling is that Mr. Blaylock installed another ring in my 1927 Gibson conversion and both banjos are so close in tone and volume that I am going to look for something to contrast the Gibson for sound, maybe maple. The back of the resonator has a small ding shown in photo at about the 10 o'clock position.

For Sale: Beautiful Curly Maple Gibson Parts Banjo with Hatfield Tone Ring - $1,400 USD
Great sounding and beautiful banjo. I bought it several years ago and was told the following information. The resonator is from a 1990s Gibson Grenada. The curly maple matching neck was made by Clancy Mullins and has the Gibson Wreath inlay on an ebony fretboard. The neck is slightly wider and has some of the finish removed from the back to give it a satiny speed neck feel. Has cam D tuners installed which allows the banjo to be tuned at any time without having to reset the D tuners. The pot hardware comes from a 1920s Gibson and a 1950s Gibson RB 250. Not sure if the wood rim is a Gibson or not. I always assumed it was based on the assembly of Gibson parts, but there are no markings. A couple of years after buying the banjo, I took it to Arthur Hatfield to replace the tone ring with one of his rings. I asked him if he could identify the rim, and after he installed the ring he said he couldn't identify the maker but it's a very good 3 ply wood rim. The Presto tailpiece, armrest, flange plate, and tuners are relatively new. Please see link below for a video of this banjo being played to demonstrate the great sound. Also see photos and ask if have questions. Comes with a Pro-Tec case as pictured.

For Sale: 1997 Gibson Earl Scruggs Standard - $3,600 USD
1997 Gibson Earl Scruggs Standard. I have owned quite a few re-issue Gibsons and this one was hands-down the best of the bunch. Loud, clear and growly just like they should be. Frets are in great shape and has spikes installed. There are a few very light beltmarks on the resonator. Beautiful wood and workmanship. It had a Shubb 5th string capo when I bought it so there are two small mounting holes where it used to be. I can include the Shubb if interested. The neck plays like butter. A great Gibson banjo that actually sounds as good as it looks. Original Gibson case.
Why spend more for a Huber or a Yates or any other masterclone when you can get the real deal that will appreciate in value instead of losing your shirt?

For Sale: Recording King RK-R35 -- SOLD pending funds - $600 USD
Hi everyone. I'm selling my Recording King banjo I have kept at my girlfriend's (now fiance) apartment over the past year when we lived in different states. I had this banjo at her place so I could use it when I visited. I have now moved to Colorado, where she lives, so I no longer need the banjo!
Anyway, as far as the banjo is concerned, it's in great condition. I've only played it a handful of times (maybe 10-15 times). It's pretty easy to play and sounds great. Shoot me an email if you're interested or would like further information.
Thanks,
