ODE Model C
Circa 1980 - typical 'style C' specs - appears to be all original, with the exception of a Shubb sliding capo added (short version).
Has some wear on the lower frets, but nothing serious. Plays out just fine.
The banjo does have a few dings and scrapes on the outer resonator sidewall, and one small ding in the neck. Otherwise, I would rate it in excellent condition.
It's currently set-up with a Wadsworth 5/8" bridge.
This is a very fine sounding banjo! I don't think you'll be disappointed in the least. But just in case you're not happy, I do offer a 2-day return policy on all of my instruments. Buyer pays all shipping (insured).
These banjos have somewhat of a narrow width at the nut, approx. 1-1/8". Not for everyone obviously, but I've had success in the past by simply filling the nut and re-filing the slots further apart.
Feel free to ask questions, or request more pics.
Will come shipped in a Richelieu (small badge) marked TKL archtop hard case.
As a note, I do have a special tool here that I will include to adjust the truss rod with. For those not familiar with these banjos, those adjustments are made through a hole in the bottom of the neck heel. Thus, there is no truss rod cover on the peghead.
These banjos were made in the good ole US of A, and are built to last a lifetime and beyond!
Thanks for looking!
