Description
Conversion to five string via an 11-15/16" diameter Vega Style X No. 9 Tubaphone rim assembly, and a robustly built, 28" scale oak neck. The hardware on pot is all original but for a few hooks and nuts, including four string Kershner tailpiece. The neck features a long floral heel carving, ebony fingerboard, with 1-5/16" wide nut, with Grover pancake tuners (off-set tabs); some forward relief and high/sharp frets present, with crude heel cut/cap, but a surprisingly rich sounding, truckin', banjo! Includes a funky, mid century brown tolex electric guitar case.
