I purchased this banjo used in 2005 or so from Blaylock music. I believe it was made in 2003. I had Geoff Stelling retrofit a Tony Pass Rim for the banjo. He keeps the old rim and stamps the same serial number as on the previous rim. I have played this banjo quite a bit. It's not spotless, but is in perfect working condition. It has your basic belt buckle rash and non-clean flange. There is some fret wear, but I would think they have plenty of life left. I sent it off and had Geoff refret the whole banjo a few years back. I have receipts of this as well as the retrofit.
This banjo has a lot of power. The tony pass rim gives it a great tone. Please email with any questions. Comes with the original Stelling case. In the picture you might notice a paige capo and leather strap. I plan on keeping these two items
