There just aren't enough superlatives in the olde memory banks to adequately describe this wonderful guitar. The top, back & sides are Limited Grade Koa, with straight curl, pressure curl and deep, rich color. The back is a duplicate of the front! Both sides matched to each other! Offsetting the gorgeous Koa is curly Maple binding. In addition, there is an abalone rosette and back center seam. Gold Waverly tuners accentuate the slotted peghead, too. Incredibly beautiful!!!!   With hard case

From a concept developed for Deering by clawhammer master teacher and performer, Dan Levenson, this is the first instrument of this model series. We are privileged to offer this fine banjo for sale. It sounds and plays as beautifully as it looks and is in superb original condition.
