brand new Reiter Special(11" maple pot, maple neck)with brass tone ring. ebony fretboard, headstock overlay. star inlay on headstock and at 5th fret. frailing scoop. brand new golden gate "bump" case. Remo head, no note tailpiece. action at the 12th(as it came)is 3/32". plays great, easy. very bell like quality without harshness.
just picked this up 1 week ago-its a great banjo-but............today i found MY BANJO. an Ome walnut Celtic model. Not sure why or what, i just immediately bonded with the Ome and put it in layaway. Plus, its a 12" pot and i've come to realize that size just sits/fits me well.
not interested in trades, just a sale(to pay off the Ome). The Special is getting harder and harder to find-especially one with a frailing scoop. This is #3421 (Bart is stop building at 4000 and is over 3600 now)ordered by Fretted Instrument Workshop in MA. I'll be adding pictures this coming week-haven't had time yet.
thanks
