    Description

    Douglas 5-String Open Back Banjo 1960's.
    It's a neat little thing, but I'm clearing stuff out.
    DIMENSIONS:
    Head dia. = 9 1/8"
    Scale length 22"
    String span @ nut = 1 1/8"
    String span @ heel = 1 5/8".
    Bridge = 5/8"
    22 shoes & hooks
    FLAWS:
    Normal scuffing for an old banjo. Has some finish chipping on the rim.Pot metal is tarnished but presentable needs new strings and the 5th string does not hold tension. Has new bridge. Appears to be original head. Nice old probably Japanese Banjo.
    ON THE PLUS SIDE:
    Very good tone & playability. Make an excellent beginners instrument. As is, no warranty.
