1908 Bacon FF Professional No. 2 Special

Price: $3,999.99 USD

For sale or trade is a 1908 Bacon No. 2 Special. This rare, Vega-made, custom-ordered banjo features the No. 3 Chubby Dragon rim marquetry and some of the No. 3 inlays, along with a highly flamed No. 3 neck blank sans heel carving. The rest of the banjo conforms to normal No. 2 Special specs aside from the SS Stewart inlay positions. The fingerboard is ebony, not dyed maple. Overall, it is in excellent condition for its age, with the usual thin cracks to the dyed maple peghead overlay. It has some fret wear but plays well with the nylon strings I use. It's fitted with a fine 11'' calfskin head dated to the 1940s. The banjo ships in a TKL hard case fitted with a replica period bridge.

As far as trades are concerned, I'm interested in quality classic banjos such as Stewarts, Weavers, Cammeyers, Van Epses, etc. I'm also interested in early banjos - both originals and replicas.

Shipping: Buyer chooses method and pays actual cost. Free shipping if trading.
