❌SOLD❌ Bacon Day Silver Bell No.1 Tenor Banjo, 1932

This lovely Bacon Day Silver Bell No. 1 tenor banjo dates to February of 1932 at Groton, Connecticut and has had its wooden dowel stick replaced with coordinator rods for better control of the action. The Fred Bacon Banjo company began around 1906 in Forrest Dale Vermont and in addition to his own workshop contracted work to Fairbanks-Vega and Wm. Lange, among others. In 1920 they moved to Groton, Connecticut and in 1922 David L. Day joined Bacon after leaving Vega.

The Nechville Leon Hunt Phantom Banjo, while not a ‘formal’ Nechville model, is based on the Nechville Phantom XXV (Phantom 25). It uses all the Nechville Phantom elements plus very highly figured maple for the neck and resonator (rather than the stock figured walnut construction), with a slight walnut tint to the finish.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson Earl Scruggs Standard Mastertone Banjo Sunburst, 2000

❌SOLD❌  Gibson Earl Scruggs Standard Mastertone Banjo Sunburst, 2000

Built from 1994 until a devastating flood hit Nashville in 2010, the Gibson Earl Scruggs Standard banjo reproduced the classic banjo that used by Scruggs. At first, the model was just named ‘Earl Scruggs’. The word ‘Standard’ was added in 1992, because two newer Scruggs models were introduced for the 1992 year, the ’49 Classic and the Golden Deluxe.
