Masterpiece 5 String Resonator Banjo - 1980s
Description
Here we have a fantastic 5 string Resonator Banjo from the 1980s - it was bought 2nd hand in 1988 and the previous owner has owned it ever since - 2 owner instrument.
It is in fantastic condition - the faux Goatskin head has signs of wear which add to the look of the instrument.
This can be easily converted to an open back banjo by removing the resonator.
It is easily 40 years old and was made in Korea - it is branded Masterpiece and is identical to the Samick SB350TT .Samick make instruments for a number of brands including Fender, Washburn and Epiphone in addition to their own brand,
It is both stunning to look at, and easy to play.
