There is nothing "standard" about this banjo! Craft-made by Michigan luthier Bart Reiter, the standard has a steel reinforced, scooped mahogany neck, an 11" maple rim and a No Knot tailpiece. This model has been gently used and has no scratches, nicks or structural damage of any sort. The two year old hard shell bump case features a plush interior.
Pickup is fine -- I'm in metro NYC (north Jersey).
