Welcome To Trader-Bobs sales. Allow me to introduce myself. I am a professional seller. I have been involved in retail sales for over 40 years, the largest portion, of these years, having been my own succesfull retail auto sales / parts / repair business, which I started from scratch. I take your satifaction, AS A BUYER, VERY SERIOUSLY! If there is any problem with this item you have purchased from me, I want to hear about it FIRST, before response is left! So that the problem can be resolved. MUSIC offers a 1920\'s Supertone \"The New Challenge\" model # 823, 5 String banjo. This is a PROJECT banjo. I have way too many to work on, so some are going. 10-5/8\" diameter goatskin head. 38 tension hooks, one of the higher end models in it\'s time. All the hooks, nuts, (one nut does not match), and lugs all match, and look to be original. The wooden wedges that tighten the neck to the body are missing. They are usually made rorm ebony wood. the four friction tuners on the peghead are original, the fifth string tuner is missing. The tailpiece is an \"Elite\", looks original. Part of the fretboard, at the bottom below the 22nd fret is chipped away. The 9th fretwire is missing. There is wear on the fretwires, and fretboard. The neck looks straight to the eye. Has .011\" neck relief, on my dial indicator gauge. 35-1/2\" overall length. Sorry, no case.
