 ON ORDER. We've asked Nechville to build one of these for our shop. Like this one, it will be maple, and we ordered it with Nechville's new hybrid inlay, although a regular ring can be used instead. If interested in this or any Nechville, a nominal deposit will put it on hold for you.   Click here for pictures

   This banjo is in virtually new condition. The original owner purchased it new in 2003, played it  for a few hours,m and gave up. No fret wear, no marks on the wood; just a  bit of tarnish on the armrest and tension hoop. Tony Pass old wood rim,  as made. Original Stelling hardshell case. Click here for pictures

   Overall condition of this tenor banjo is excellent. Some wear on the first 5 frets. 4 piece flange. No tuners or tailpiece. With a new neck, this would make a great 5-string banjo. Decent hardshell case. SN 91555. Click here for pictures

  Other than the fact that the metal on the tone ring and tension hoop needs cleaning and polishing, the banjo is in nearly mint condition. Tubaphone tone ring, and a beautiful curly maple neck. There is virtually no fret wear. On the peghead, there are a few small areas where the overlay has discolored. Original hardshell case. Click here for pictures

  Nice condition, with virtually no fret wear. Mahogany, with flathead tone ring and Wreath inlay. Click here for pictures

 This is about as nice as a used instrument could be. Beautiful wood with just a wisp of fret wear; I've seen new instruments in shops with more wear. There are two marks on the side where the armrest was. Serial number 12769.  Click here for pictures

 20-hole flathead ring. Mahogany, with a stunning quilted mahogany resonator. Like all Phantoms, it has a tunneled  5th string and radiused fingerboard, making it a dream to play!   Click here for pictures

 This is an extremely rare variety, identical to the style 11 but with the name S S STEWART on the peghead. It has a new Richie Dotson conversion neck now. The rim has not been cut, so it has the   brass hoop ring as made. It has all the tone and volume you'd want, but with a lot less weight; in fact, I doubt that you'd know that it didn't have a heavy ring. Richie made this one with the wreath  inlay. The pot is 100% original with the exception of the tailpieces.   Click here for pictures

 This  interesting banjo has gold plated, unengraved metal parts, which is  standard for the model, and a flathead ring. The one piece flange is in  nice condition, as is the entire banjo. The 5th string tuner has been  replaced, and there are tiny holes on the side of the neck, where a  sliding capo had been mounted. The neck was modified, probably in the  1980s, by Bill Godfrey, who reshaped the peghead and replaced the  fingerboard with one having Florentine Special inlay. There is only  light wear on the first three frets. It has a pickup attached Click here for pictures
