I have a 1982 Frank Neat with a Blaylock Bear Tracks tone ring that I would consider trading for a nice American made open back (old or new). I also have an early 70s Mark Taylor that I would consider trading. I have too many banjos (according to my wife), and need to trade one if I find a new one. If there's any interest, I'll get some pictures posted.
The Neat was refretted last year and. There are a couple scratches on the resonator. Arthur Hatfield recut the neck for me (It had very high action before). It plays great and has great tone. I also have the original Kentucky 5 tone ring.
The Taylor was refinished recently by Robin Smith. He put a new quilted mahogany resonator on it. It has a Yates v33 tone ring. I also have the original tone ring. The flange is slightly pulled up on one side. Email me if you have any questions or for additional photos. Thanks for looking.
