2021 Companion Banjo w/fiberglass case & accessories - $2000 + $75 Shipping

Incredible tone and volume! American made (March 2021)! Spikes at 7, 8, 9 & 10. Metal parts are in excellent condition with very little wear or staining. Pegs match the varnish! The first several frets have some wear, but no buzzing and it plays great. This American made banjo does not have a metal tonering. The maple rim is shaped like a tone ring, and this banjo has amazing volume and tone. I was really impressed, as this is the first Companion banjo I've ever seen or played. Beautiful maple resonator and neck! Setup and plays great! Comes with used fiberglass case, Lakota buffalo leather cradle strap, Snark tuner, mute, and wire cutters.
