Up for sale is my first banjo; a blonde maple Deering Sierra in excellent condition. Showing a pretty quilted maple pattern on the neck and resonator, the wood appears to be a higher grade that what I've seen on most Sierras. Some, including my first teacher and Deering picker, believe it to be a different model due to the upgraded diamond inlay on the frets, but as the photo attests, it is in fact a Sierra. There is one small blemish on the resonator that came new with the banjo. This heavy instrument has been cared for its entire life and has a crisp, desirable, bright bluegrass Deering sound. It will come with the original hardshell Deering case.
