Thought I would throw this out here and "strike while the iron is hot" !
Japanese made neck and resonator, salvaged from a destroyed aluminum pot, and transplanted onto a 2-3 year old "Savannah" Chinese-made wood pot. No tone ring or hoop.
The brand new Remo head rides directly on the wooden rim.
Finish on neck and reso are in amazingly good condition for 40+ years old. Reso has some "buckle rash" and scratches.
Mahogany neck, stained dark "Gibson" red, headstock has "Trump" badge on it (original and "real"), still has the "Made in Japan" sticker on the back of the headstock. Nice piece of rosewood for the fingerboard. Basic "dot" inlays.
Spikes at 7 and 9 frets.
All original, geared guitar-type tuners, friction 5th string tuner, all with vintage amber "Catalin" buttons. All tuners, including 5th, work very well.
Old retro Japanese wooden armrest, from the original banjo.
Has a thin shim between the neck heel and the pot.
.585" no-name bridge.
Brand new import Waverly-style tailpiece. D'addarrio J69 light strings, with phosphor bronze wound 4th.
Fun little banjo that actually sounds pretty good, plays easy, nice action, and has "yuuuuge" conversational potential.
Can't figure out how to move photos from homepage to this ad.

Sorry, I don't have any "Clinton" or "Sanders" banjos!
