Description
Stelling Banjos have become nearly impossible to find.  Not only is Geoff Stelling retiring this year which means no more Stelling Banjos, he was also inducted into the American Banjo Museum Hall of Fame last year.  His banjos are HOT and I am looking everywhere to keep some in stock.
This has a Tony Pass Lost Timbre 600TS Shell.  The neck and resonator are absolutely gorgeous walnut.  This has an ebony fretboard with some very nice inlay along with white binding and checker purfling.  The hardware is Gold and is covered with engraving work.  Everything is engraved, tone ring, tension hoop, flange, armrest, tailpiece and heavily engraved.  I included several different shots at different angles to try to illustrate how much engraving work is on this.  I have no doubt in the next few years Stelling Banjos like this will be bringing ,000 because the work on stuff like this is out of this world and now so hard to find.
This is all original and includes the Original Case.
Condition
This particular banjo is also in phenomenal condition and has been cleaned at the Banjo Warehouse.  The gold looks incredible.  That truly glows and basically shows no wear.  The very edge of the armrest has a sliver of gold that has worn off but it is truly almost unnoticeable.  The wood looks incredible and also glows.  The fretboard and frets are in great shape with basically no fretwear.  There is a touch of wear on the first few frets but basically none.  There are spikes at the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th frets.  The banjo is super clean and the original case is as well.
Set Up
This has been set up at the Banjo Warehouse as well.  This has a new Huber frosted head which is set to 90.  The bridge is a Stelling Bridge and the intonation is set.  This has new Huber Truetone .10 gauge strings and the banjo is a smoking player.  This is set up to really bring out the best in this banjo and this feels and sounds incredible.
