I bought this banjo (#3892) in Sept. 2013 from a Hangout member. I liked it so much that I bought a Reiter "A Flat" which has a 24 3/4" scale. I found that the shorter scale worked best for me so I bought a Sagmoen short scale the first if this year and no longer need the Buckbee.
I have the Buckbee set up with a black painted (on the inside) Renaissance head, Aquila "Super Nylguts" and a walnut bridge and tailpiece. The original "no knot" tailpiece will be included along with a new set of AMB cryo strings, the original ebony topped bridge and a couple of bridges for use with nylon strings. The Buckbee has a mahogany neck. I'll ship the banjo in a new, "Musician's Friend" hard case (with padding as the case is for a resonator.)
There is a nick in the neck as shown in the picture.
Here's how the banjo sounds as it's set up now: banjohangout.org/myhangout/med...archived=
