Here's The Run Down:

This is A Very Cool, Hard To Find & Vintage Lyric Tenor Banjo!  This is a USA made banjo that appears to be pre war and is in great shape overall for its age (see pics).  There will be marks, scuffs, chips, scratches and checking here or there, but nothing other than you would expect of a used, played and vintage instrument (see pics).   I tried to take really good pics, so you can judge for yourself (see pics).  There are NO breaks, repairs or damage that is not visible in the pics.  This banjo appears to be all original with the possible exception of head and bridge.  The back of the neck is in very good shape with the normal wear you would expect of a used vintage instrument (pictured).  There is minimal fret wear.  There is scratching/buckle rash on the back of the resonator and the expected discoloration of the hardware.  If your looking for a Vintage Tenor Banjo that your friends do not have, with a super clean vintage Gibson Hard Case, this is the one you have been waiting for!

This Vintage Lyric Tenor Banjo is very playable with very good action.   Although I think its set up great, everyone has their own preferences.  If your not happy with its set up, it will be your responsibility and cost to have it set up to your liking.    The neck is straight, and the action is very good from one end of the board to the other.    

The included 1960's Gibson USA Hard Tenor Banjo Case is in great condition. All latches, hinges and  handle operate as they should without issue.  It will have marks and/or scuffs here or there from moving it around and age, but still a great case. 

Everything operates as it should, and has never had, nor does it have any breaks or repairs unless noted above.
