I have a gorgeous Stelling Staghorn being sold on consignment.
The following is the seller's description:
Year made: 2008
Condition: Excellent to Mint; very little fret wear, no scratches or dings whatsoever.
Highly figured Burl Walnut resonator
Serial # 6539
Spikes at 7, 8, 9 & 10
11/16" Bridge
Renaissance head installed
Tony Pass Block Rim
Professionally set up, medium light strings
Original Stelling hardshell case and Tuner Key
Original paperwork signed and numbered by Geoff Stelling pictured in photos with the case
Add on: Custom Abalone Truss Rod Cover – see new photos… original black truss rod cover included
Sound/Tone: Typical Stelling ‘blow you away’ sound. Excellent highs and lows and great sustain.
Reason for selling??? I have another custom Stelling Butterfly (maple) which has a smaller neck that suits me perfectly. I don’t play this banjo and simply want to put it back into circulation. It’s too nice and pretty to not be out there being enjoyed by the right person. case.
Asking Price: $5,500
This banjo new lists for $8,340 on Stelling’s website. There is of course a wait time of several months for a new instrument, and I don’t believe they use burl walnut anymore, only straight-grain wood, so it would likely be a custom order for burl walnut.
Trades involving top quality, vintage OMEs will be considered.
For someone looking for one of Stelling's flagship banjos, it simply doesn't get much better than this.
All questions will be forwarded to the owner. Please allow 12-24 hours for a response.
