  • Condition: The pot is in excellent condition overall with its original hardware except for period tailpiece. The cherrywood neck is a perfect facsimile by Wisconsin luthier and banjoist Sandy Winters with whom I have worked closely for many years. He used the original headstock and fingerboard with all inlays as shown in the photos.
  • Brand: SS Stewart

    Description

    This is an S.S. Stewart banjeaurine by the firm that invented the instrument. Its 10.5" nut-to-rim neck and 12.5" pot assembly make it ideally suited for tuning to a higher pitch than a traditional 5-string banjo and I keep this one tuned to A for fiddle accompaniment, obviating the need for a capo with its attendant drawback
    Comes in a perfectly-fitting mint condition Deering gig bag.
