This is a 2004 Deering Golden Wreath. Wonderful banjo. Deering's signature "Pre-War" reproduction and a cracking bluegrass banjo. Look it up on the Deering site and check the specs. The banjo looks and sounds and plays amazing. You won't go wrong with this one! The banjo is in flawless condition except for one very tiny ding (smaller than a matchhead) in the lacquer on the outer rim of the resonator (see pic). Not even a hint of any "Buckle Rash". Original Deering Hard Shell Case is 100% structurally solid but has a cut in the tolex covering and one of the latches is missing the buckle but the case doesn't show much wear at all. This banjo has been babied and stored and has never been gigged with or even played much at all.
