Add an extra $125 for the Guardian Fiberglass case which is an excellent investment to protect this fine instrument, otherwise comes included N/C with new Superior HSC.
This is truly a one-of-a-kind beautiful banjo, and it has the typical Ome Bluegrass sound. Tim Custer can be heard playing this banjo on 2 of his CDs, the title cut “Looking Back” and “Shanksville Stomp” on his “Looking Back” CD, and “Bye Bye Blues” on his “Focused” CD.
Reason for selling??? I simply don’t play it at all and I’m sure someone else will appreciate it as much as I do and WILL play it.
Trades involving top quality, vintage OMEs will be considered.
All inquiries will be forwarded to the owner. Please allow 12-24 hours for a response.
