1998 Gibson Earl Scruggs Banjo. Good Condition. All original. It has a very powerful, punchy tone all the way up and down the neck with crisp, clear highs and growling bass. It just doesn't run out of steam. Very well balanced tone. I have found that the 97-98 model years were very good years for the Scruggs banjos for both tone and build quality. This one is no exception. Original Gibson/Kulesh ring. Railroad spikes already installed.
Comes with original Gibson hard shell case. Some fret wear on the first several frets and a small spot of finish wear on the back of the neck but the rest of the banjo is excellent. About what you'd expect for a well played but well taken care of 14 year old banjo. Whoever ends up with it will be a very happy camper. My banjos come professionally setup for optimal performance and ready to play. If your looking for a tone like Earl's and a wonderful piece of Gibson history this is it.
