    Description

    I have for sale a Vintage Wm. L. Lange Paramount style C Plectrum 22 fret banjo in good condition for the age. I did play this banjo prior to listing and does play. Great banjo for jazz to play along with the guitar. Please note; the wear is mostly contained to the wood resonator at the bottom, typical of professional use, although the neck fret board/sound board is in good condition. The cosmetic condition is good. There are some scratches,scuffs,dings cracks,marks and playing wear not perfect but playable overall in clean condition.The neck and fret board\finger board are in good condition from what I can tell. The inlays are intact. There is one lower small binding strip that was replaced. The tuners were upgraded. There is some wear at the bottom of the wood resonator portion with some of the inlays out. There some spots with inlays missing. At the bottom of the wood resonator there is a hairline crack, I can not tell how deep the crack is-- please review the photo up close. The back of the resonator has some scratches and scuffs some of the inlays are out with binding. The mechanical parts are in good condition. Overall this banjo is playable but could use a little work to bring it up to specs. Comes with a aftermarket hard case that is in fair condition with red felt interior. This banjo was played professionally mostly jazz rit was stored for years and originally owned by a relative who was a master Luthier that designed Dobro style resonator guitars.  This playable banjo was safely stored for years and was handed down. This would make for a nice restoration project with a little work this could be a nice banjo. Please review all of the photos carefully and if you have any questions please feel free to contact me. I can chat on the phone and answer all questions if desired.I only ship within the lower 48 states.
