Vintage 8 String Banjo Mandolin Banjolin Gretsch?:
$92.25

THIS sale IS FOR A VINTAGE BANJO MANDOLIN OR BANJOLIN.I\'M NOT SURE OF THE MAKER, AS IT\'S NOT MARKED. BUT IT WAS WELL MADE.IT HAS A 10\" HEAD WITH 20 TENSION RODS. A SINGLE PLY 1/4\" MAPLE FRAME AND A MAPLE NECK.ALTHOUGH THE ROSEWOOD FRETBOARD APPEARS BROKEN OFF AT THE END, IT IS STILL PLAYABLE.THE ROSEWOOD VENEERED HEADSTOCK IS SET WITH A MOP STAR. THE FRETBOARD ALSO HAS 2 CROSSES, AN OVAL, AND 4 DOT MOP INLAYS.THE TUNERS ARE A NICKEL 4 X 4 SET UP. SEE THE PIC, THESE ARE FINE TUNERS!VERY LITTLE FRET WEAR.
THE NECK NUT LOOKS A LITTLE LOW AND THE BRIDGE LOOKS HIGH. BUT I\'M USED TO GUITARS. MAYBE IT\'S SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THAT.
I SAY IT MAY BE A GRETSCH BECAUSE OF THE STAR IN THE HEADSTOCK.
2 OF THE TENSION ROD HEX MOUNTING NUTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH SLOTTED SCREWS.
BECAUSE THE TAIL OF THE FRETBOARD IS BROKEN OFF, IT MAY HAVE HAD REPAIRS.
NO CASE BUT WILL BE WELL PACKED.
PLEASE VIEW PICS AND ASK QUESTIONS, AS RETURNS ARE FOR GROSSLY MISREPRESENTED ITEMS ONLY.
