I'm selling my trusty Bishline Midnight Moon. It's been my main gigging banjo for about 5 years. It's an all maple banjo with a TP Schaeffer rim and (I believe) a Bishline tone ring. Currently outfitted with a Sullivan bridge and a renaissance head. Spikes at 7 and 9. The only semi major thing I changed was to remove the 5th string spike and add a 5th string nut (pip), installed by well-respected luthier Bruce Taggart. Note: the two pickups and the snark tuner attachment installed in the picture are not included. They will be removed before shipping.
Known issues: Very small, shallow scratch in resonator (see pic). 5th tuning peg is loose, but doesn't slip at all (an easy fix, according to the folks in the setup and repair forum). Metal is dirty and needs a good polishing. A couple of the hooks have rust. Some fret wear on the first 5 frets.
Beautiful, beautiful banjo. I just need money right now more than a pretty banjo! Bishline's necks are thin and lightning fast. I think the setup I have on it now works well for my taste, but you could brighten it up with a remo head if you wanted to. Comes with a Bishline case.
Edit: No longer entertaining partial trade offers.
