Used modern resonator 5-string banjos for sale

We sold this banjo new, and had it made with a Tony Pass old wood TS-500 rim. Overall condition is excellent and there is hardly any fret wear. The metal parts are oxidized but could be easily cleaned if the new owner so desired. This is a great sounding banjo, and in my opinion a bargain for the price. Click here for pictures

Maple neck and resonator; wreath inlay. Although this banjo was evidently made about fifteen years ago, it is in nearly like new condition, with only a tiny hint of fret wear. It is a really nice sounding arch top.  Click here for pictures

Mahogany, with a Tony Pass Lost Timber rim. We sold this new and the owner evidently rarely played it, so it remains in virtually unplayed condition with just a hint of wear on the first two frets. Scott Zimmerman is one of finest builders in the world; unfortunately he evidently isn't currently making banjos, so they are few and far between. Click here for pictures

This one-of-a-kind banjo was built as the result of an agreement between Fender and Scott Zimmerman for a possible Fender re-entry into the professional banjo market. The wood is American walnut with a beautiful burl resonator. JLS #4 tone ring and 3-ply rim. The label is signed and dated by Scott, and there is a letter from him verifying the above. It is in virtually new condition, with not even a trace of fret wear!  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

Decent overall condition with practically no fret wear. There is some green vertigris on the metal parts which could be cleaned. The tube has a couple of breaks, which are harmless because it is stable as is. If you are looking for an RB-250 at a great price, look no further. No case. Click here for pictures
