In fantastic condition, this is an Ome Monarch, made by Ome in 1985; includes hard case. The 11" rim assembly is of walnut, and is equipped with a flat-head tonering, decorative flange, armrest, original five string tailpiece; fully bound walnut resonator with cocentric circles on back; setup with a Jim Farquhar bridge. The maple neck has a rosewood fingerboard w/ 1-1/4" nut width; Ome's "Monarch" pattern pearl inlay adorns the fingerboard and rosewood peghead face. In great shape, this banjo was rarely played, and cared for during its lifetime; just light surface wear present.
