This is a Buckbee-style banjo made by famed banjo-builder Bart Reiter. He is no longer building and this is one of his last built. (2018)
Impeccable fit and finish and is essentially new. Comes with Golden Gate hardshell “bump” case.
Made in Michigan, this Buckbee is a handsome open-back banjo with a 12" Elite head on a maple rim, a 2-piece cherry neck, all in a nice walnut stain finish. Other features include a rolled brass tone ring, scooped ebony fingerboard. Equipped with No-Knot tailpiece and Five-Star geared tuners. Original hardshell bump case. Made in USA.
Kept in a humidity and temp-controlled non-smoking studio and has never been played outside the home.
