Sullivan Festival Maple Banjo *Jam Series* - Serial #SJ-007
This banjo originally came with just a tone hoop, but now was outfitted with a new nickel plated Sullivan 20-hole flathead tone ring installed. This work was performed by master builder Arthur Hatfield of Glasgow, KY. Also has 5th string capo spikes installed (7th, 9th, 10th frets), and is set-up with a Hatfield compensated bridge. I bought it about 18 months ago, paid $995 for it and I am convinced that I do not have the time to really learn to play it and that is the ONLY reason I am selling it. No need for it to live, unplayed in its case.
Proudly made in the USA using only top quality parts, this is a superb bluegrass banjo. It's all about great tone and playability, not fancy inlay, a high-gloss finish, or expensive engraved or gold plated parts.
