This 15-year old banjo is in really good shape, and hardly looks its age

It's a blond maple banjo with an ebony fingerboard. There are some spots where the neck's finish is lightly crazed, but it's really hard to see these marks, and just about impossible to show them in a photo. The neck does have some dings from a stand or something, but nothing major.

It's consigned here for only $800 with a deluxe gig bag.

	The scooped, ebony fingerboard has no inlay,			The three-piece neck is natural maple with a gloss finish. There are some crazing "cracks" in the finish, but it's well nigh unto impossible to see them, much less photograph them.
	The traditional Vega-style peghead has a simple star inlaid in its ebony overlay.			The tuners are 5-Star brand planetaries.
	It's set up with a Elite-branded Renaissance head, a No-Knot tailpiece, a 5-footed bridge, a hot dog armrest, and Nylgut brand synthetic gut strings.			The metal parts are nickel-plated and in good condition.
	The 11-inch, maple pot has a rolled brass tone ring (more clearly visible in the photo of the head), and a rosewood rim cap.			The instrument has natural wood colors throughout.
