Rare LIBERTY BUCKDANCER 5-String Clawhammer - 1980-83 - $3,225 - (Washington, CT)

This is one of a max of 40 ever made from the original LIBERTY BANJO workshop in Bridgeport, CT. During the 1970's and 80's, LIBERTY was the premier maker of the highest quality banjo on the market. These very sought-after instruments were designed by Bob Flesher and crafted by Jim De Cava (now of De Cava Guitars in Ansonia CT). Jim just inspected and tweaked this banjo. Feel secure that it is in the finest condition. Abalone inlays on the fretboard and headstock. Rim is laminated hard rock maple with curly maple veneer inside and out. Ebony fretboard with ivory trim. Note the beautiful wood inlay on the back of the rim and dowel. The head is stretched over a special contour wood tone ring to produce a very light, sweet, tone with excellent volume. The intent is to replicate the A.A. Farland banjo design and tone from the early 1900's. Superb condition! Comes with new soft case. Contact seller if more photos or info needed.
