The Twelfth Fret ~ Since 1977 ~

❌SOLD❌ Deering Tenbrooks Legacy Banjo, 2004

Brand:

Instrument Categories: ,

The Deering Tenbrooks Legacy banjo is a professional grade instrument combining Mahogany for the neck and resonator with Maple for the tone ring.

This example dates to 2004, built in Spring Valley California, and has a rather low serial number – 0020. It is in overall good shape, but it has definitely been used as intended and there is moderate fret wear and a few small scuffs around the resonator.

The original hard shell case is included, but it is missing its handle.

Currently, the Deering Tenbrooks Legacy model lists for around $8,899.00 USD.
