OME Juniper with 12 inch pot, mahogany neck and rolled brass tone ring. Beautiful deep dark sound with ringing overtones. Would sound great with steel or nylon strings. I bought it in 2005, I think. #4903. It spent 7 years on the road with me but is still in good condition. The head is stained and worn from playing, there are some nicks, marks and scratches on the neck, the fingerboard could use a good cleaning and the truss rod cover is missing. The inside of the head has some glue and tape residue from various pickups being installed over the years.
Easy playability, tight construction, simple but elegant look. This is OME at its finest!
I am selling for two reasons: #1 I built my own banjos so this one has been in the case since then. #2 I am moving and need to clean house!
I can't seem to find any acoustic videos of me playing this banjo, but here it is through an amp!

I don't have a case, but I will double box and carefully pack it.
I think these are going for $2300 new!
