Gold Star model GF100 HF from when they were making great banjos in Japan in the 80's. This banjo plays and sounds great but does have some flaws. That's why I selling at such a ridiculously low price. First there must have been a repair to the heel of the neck at some time. The screws in the heel plate don't look very nice but the repair is rock solid. Second a sliding 5th string capo has been removed leaving holes in the side of the neck. See photos. Neither of these flaws affect the tone or looks from the front of the banjo. Gold Stars from this period are highly regarded and are played by professionals. A beat up but very serviceable hard shell case is included.
