USED Gibson / Earl Scruggs Standard [03]

Earl Scruggs model of Greg Rich period Gibson!

Bluegrass has been attracting attention thanks to the success of the Punch Brothers, Billy Stringz, and others, and in Japan, bluegrass clubs are flourishing at several universities. Going back to the 70s, many of the folk generation may have been introduced to bluegrass through the likes of Takahiko Ishikawa, Tomoya Takaishi, and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. The five-string banjo is the flower instrument of bluegrass, and this is a signature model of Earl Scruggs, the founder of the bluegrass banjo. Moreover, this is a product made during the tenure of Greg Rich, who contributed to the quality improvement of Gibson banjos. The rim, resonator, and neck are made of maple, and the sides and neck of the resonator have beautiful tiger grain.
There are a few light dents and scratches, and the edges and butt ends of the headstock have some paint chips. The back of the resonator has some shallow belt buckle scratches, the fingerboard has some wear, metal parts are dull, and the drum head is stained, but there is no noticeable damage. The 7th fret and lower frets have been refretted. There are nails on the 5th string at the 7th and 9th frets. The neck is in proper condition and plays and sounds perfect. It has been set up by our banjo player repair staff and is ready to go.
The second and third strings are equipped with Keith tuners, so "Earl's Breakdown," "Flint Hill Special," and "Randy Lynn Rag" can be included in your repertoire.
This is a lifetime banjo that is a joy to play and a joy to own. This is one that we highly recommend.
The genuine hard case comes with a sticker of the Oklahoma festival.
