Gary H. Price Tradition Model five string banjo

2 years ago
49

This is the third Tradition model banjo built in March, 2007. The neck and resonator veneer are high grade Honduras mahogany, the rim a regular thickness Tony Pass block rim and the fingerboard of Brazilian rosewood most likely harvested before WWII. Tone ring is a 20 hole Price Classic. Tailpiece is the Price SL-5, nicely engraved with the make and model name and some decorative inlay outlines. The bridge was made by Gary Sosebee of Woodstock GA, I believe from the floor of an old cotton mill. Tuners are Five Star Planets with ivoroid buttons.
