A very rare and very beautiful short scale tenor banjo built around 1924 by the Fred Bacon Company. The neck is built from maple with an ivoriod fretboard and MOP position markers. the rim is also maple with ivoriod veneer giving the whole appearance a blonde look. The neck is profiled to a V-shape which feels nice when playing fast trad and so easy to reach the high B with the 21″ scale length.

Comes with original vintage case in good condition
