Here is a rare opportunity to own one of the first Yates "Ron Stewart" models made. Completed in September 2008 it has the "GLOSS" finish and the hardware is NOT distressed as the later ones are. The banjo is in excellent condition and is patterned after the Style 1 that Ron played and recorded with so much. This Yates has the straight-grain resonator and neck (speed neck finish) along with an un-plated Yates no-hole tone ring. The banjo sounds as any other Yates I've played and they speak for themselves. Ron owned this banjo "right out of the gate" and played it for a period of time. There is not a serial # in this banjo but it is believed to be #2. I cannot confirm that.
Ships in Yates "Redline" case.
