This is a 2006 Calico Archtop banjo which I bought new less than 6 mths. ago. It is rare in that it had to be special ordered since only flat tops are sold by Deering. I have not seen another archtop calico on any website . It has plenty of volumn and pop . Strong fourth string and 1st string pops . Beautiful honey maple with ebony fingerboard, mother of pearl inlays , 3 ply maple violin grade rim and resonator ,Coral purfling , Ivoroid binding. . Has a Kershner Golden Gate tailpiece and Snuffy Smith bridge , spikes 7,8,9,10 and heavy frosted Remo weather king head .
Will trade for comparable Gibson prewar or Gibson Standard( extra cash if needed) . This is an excellent banjo . Comes with an archtop Deering case. Reasonable offers will be accepted.
