1899 S.S. Stewart Special Thoroughbred 5 string Open Back Banjo with hard case

Description: 1899 S.S. Stewart Special Thoroughbred 5 string Open Back Banjo with hard case Description Antique 1899 S.S. Stewart Special Thoroughbred 5 string Open Back Banjo with hard case This cool antique instrument is in very nice condition. It has a more modern head made of plastic instead of skin and a modern tailpiece, but the rest appears original. It plays great and looks great and is freshly strung with bronze strings. It does have one small piece of inlay missing in the headstock. We got it without a case so we have included a nice aftermarket Washburn Hardshell case to protect the instrument. This is a very nice instrument that is ready to play or to add to your collection.
