Vintage Majestic tenor 4 String Banjo I'm not a banjo player or repair tech so I will not know all details on this banjo, I will do my best to describe it, to my best knowledge it was made in the USA. I do not know the year just the Co. started making banjos in the 1920's. It has 24 brackets, the head measured at 11 3/8" center rim to center rim " not sure of exact size. and it weights 8 lbs 10 oz, as is seen in the pics (its a heavy banjo) measures from the nut to the 12th fret 11 1/16" the action is really nice, I tried it out it doesn't seem to have a fret problem any where on the neck that I noticed, it shows some wear/age on tension rods and brackets maybe because of age, probably should be taken apart and cleaned real good, however, I do not know how to put one back together so I left it as is, the back resonator has only one screw/washer holding it on, when looking at the pic of the case notice on the case by glove box I have put in the pic the 2 screws/washers and the little block of wood that needs to be glued on the inside of the banjo, this is what the screws goes into that holds the back on, it will need re-glued back to the inside of the banjo so it will hold the back on properly. To my best the tuning keys are good but not original, I would suggest to install some really nice ones since this is a nice banjo, Notice in the pic of the neck in the first fret it is a different color, this is because someone has done some repair there, the fret board in the first fret position has been replaced (to bad it was not with the same kind of wood) it would look better, however, it looks to have been done nicely, I believe I would leave it since it plays good up and down the fret board, there is hair crack on the head stock from the inlay to the nut (see pic), looks to be cosmetic on the top layer of the head stock, will not effect the play-ability of the instrument. The nut and bridge look good, the head is dirty but in good condition, the frets are thin looking but I think there are good, inlays look good, over all frets, inlays and fret board show some use but I believe it still has a lot of life in her, just needs
a little attention,
( It comes with a new arch-top hard-shell case ( has key to case ), case has a few scratches, I am selling this as "needs some repair" so it will be sold as is in found condition no refunds or partial refunds. Someone could take it apart give it a good cleaning and glue the bracket back to hold the back resonator and they would have a good player, it is a nice vintage piece, hate to see it not being played.
Please ask questions before purchase. Also email me if need more pics and what kind you will need. Thanks
