All original Epiphone ‘A’ Recording 19 fret tenor banjo. X style flange model featuring the 3rd generation tone ring where the tone ring rests upon 26 metal spacing segments that are embedded  on the 3/4″ ply rim. American walnut neck is reinforced by three veneers of holly and ebony. The fingerboard is genuine Gaboon ebony, mounted on three veneers of contrasting woods, bound on the side with white pyralin. The neck is decorated with diamond style position markers and the head plate is ebony with an elaborate inlaid design of mother of pearl. The original tuners are Grover type all working perfectly. Straight neck with low playing action right up the fret board. I have used nickel strings 12, 17, 28, and 38 gauge and is perfect for playing Irish trad. The sound of these banjos has to be heard to be believed, the tone is vibrant, powerful and far reaching, yet when played lightly moving the pick away from the bridge it has a low lilting sweetness and sonorous in quality. I have fitted one of my own hand made 5/8″ walnut and ebony tipped bridges.

The resonator is made from 6 ply American walnut with inlays of holly to match the neck. Fitted with replacement clamshell tail piece, and armrest, comes with the original Epiphone vintage case which is in good restored condition. The overall condition of this banjo is in excellent shape and was recently professionally lacquered at the Avalon Guitar factory. The nickel plating throughout is also very shiny with no pitting issues. Need I say more,its an Epiphone!!
