Cedar Mountain J-200 11" Clawhammer Banjo & Hard Case
I purchased this wonderful banjo a few years ago from the original owner. The banjo does have a few minor dings and scuffs here and there. On the whole it is in good to very good condition. This is a great sounding banjo and it reflects the craftsmanship of its builder, Lo Gordon. Included is a Guardian hard shell bump case in fair condition. The serial number is 379.
I am reluctantly selling this banjo to purchase a custom banjo from Will Fielding.
