(Used) S.S. Stewart Thoroughbred 5-String Open-Back Banjo #3487

This S.S. Stewart Thoroughbred is in very good condition! It is amazing to see an instrument built 130 years ago still playable! It features a cherry neck and rim. There are hairline cracks around the inside of the rim. It also appears the inlays on the fretboard were filled and replaced by a new pattern. There is wear on the back of the neck from decades of use, but has been well taken care of overall. Let us know if you have any questions about this wonderful Stewart banjo!
