A classic Special Electric...

10 1/2" rim with skin head. 26" Fret-Scale.

The pot is in remarkably clean and original condition.

[a couple of the hook and nut sets have been replaced by

identical examples from another Fairbanks banjo]

Mahogany neck with ebony fingerboard and engraved pearl inlays.

As can be expected with an instrument over 120 years old, it has had some

not terribly instrusive repairs, including a couple of cracks around the 1st and 4th pegs.

Typical cracks in the dyed-wood peghead facing.

Everything is solid, action is low, quite a nice banjo with a little back-story.

Modern ['70's] planetary geared pegs.
