Here's a chance to own a collector's item for sure. This banjo was commissioned by non other than Joe Spann during his employment at Huber banjos. The banjo was to replicate Earl Scruggs' banjo configuration during the famous live recording of Flatt and Scruggs at Carnegie Hall.
The banjo features the Huber "Truetone" package with a gold plated HR-30 tone ring and Huber Engineered Rim. This banjo has a mahogany neck and curly maple resonator as did Earl's banjo, but with added concentric rings that are beautiful. The nickel hardware has the "vintage" finish. The banjo also features original Keith/Bump D-tuners and genuine prewar Grover pancake tuners as well. Every detail was carefully matched from the thin peghead overlay to having the famous serial number "9584-3" stamped in the rim. This is the only one in existence and is a VERY "Earl sounding" banjo to say the least. I don't have to sell this banjo but simply have too many others that are not getting played either. This one needs to be out there getting played. 5th string spikes are installed and ships in a brown Superior case.
