Up for sale is my Gibson 49 Classic. I purchased this banjo with a broken neck. The headstock had completely separated from the neck. Never a fan of the 49 Classic inlay pattern, (H&F peghead & bowtie neck), I had a new neck made by First Quality with the Granada style Hearts & Flower pattern in a rosewood fingerboard. The pot and resonator are original 49 Classic components except. I've had the head for about 25 years and this is the first time it's been installed on any banjo. First Quality did install spikes on the 7th, 9th, 10th fret. I did install a pre EPA head and a Snuffy Smith bridge. It has been played very little and there is no fret wear. Also, there are no belt marks on the back of the resonator. The metal parts are in great shape with the exception of a little tarnish on the armrest. There is a small mark on the resonator binding. Comes with the original "The Gibson" in very good condition. Price includes shipping & insurance. I also have a Sullivan for sale. I will keep the one that doesn't sell first.
