Buying a used banjo is often the best first step for those musicians looking to pick up the instrument. The following article profiles specific used banjos available on the online market, including product details and prices.
One model recently profiled is Rich & Taylor’s "Sonny Osborne" Signature model five-string banjo, which features a beautifully figured maple neck and resonator with rosewood fingerboard with flying-eagle-style inlays in mother of pearl. This banjo has a powerful, deep, and clear tone quality, and is quick and responsive. This banjo is in fine condition, especially considering its age. Built in 1996, it has outstanding tone and playability. It comes with the original hard-shell case. A consumer might expect to pay upwards of $1,795 for such a banjo.
The next model is Gibson’s "RB Natural" five-string banjo, which features a blonde-figured maple neck and resonator with a natural, satin finish. It has a piece flange and rolled brass tone ring, like the 1930s Gibson Style 1 with Clamshell tailpiece. This banjo is easy to play and lighter in weight than a five-string banjo, with crisp, clear, tone quality. It has no obvious fret wear or dings. Because this was a 2002 model, and was sold new for $1,800, a consumer would expect to pay approximately $1,095.
Finally, OME’s Single X five-string banjo has an excellent tone and is very easy to play. It was built in the 1980s, and has a brass-tone ring. It has a Mahogany neck and resonator with natural satin finish. In spite of its age, the back of the neck is in excellent condition. It has little or no fret wear. Even though the nickel plating has worn out on the metal components, the overall banjo is structurally fine. The Mahogany neck and resonator with rosewood fingerboard are in fine condition, overall. The piece includes rosewood peghead overlay, original Ome tailpiece, shoes, played and grooved tension hoop with flat hooks. It could also be played as an open back banjo. It is available at a price of $795, with the original case.
With perseverance, you will be able to find other examples of quality used banjos on the Web.
