well this is another banjo i realy should stay latched onto but before i change my mind it is for sale or trade...this is an extremely clean imperial banjo by ty piper......this things looks almost as if it came out of a time capsule!...i am confident that i can place the overall condition of this banjo at or near 98%....this has some gorgeous flamed maple in the neck and reso! with very nice inlaid wood marquetry and diamond design in the back of the reso..i cant verify the authenticity of the earl scruggs signature inside the reso but there is one. this has had recent amber tuning buttons installed but the 5 original buttons will be included...sorry but the strap shown in the photo is not included....this comes with what may be the original tweed case but i dont know for sure if it is the original case?....this thing is one of the most solidly built banjos i have ever seen and talk about sounding good!! ....if i were not wanting a gibson then you probably wouldnt be seeing this add...so if you have a nice older gibson such as a bowtie/top tension/nicer original pot conversion? or i would consider other brands! and possibly a nice f-5 mandolin...then shoot me a message and we will see what we can do...good luck and thanks
