(Used) 1928 Bacon Style C Maple/Mahogany Resonator Banjo #2530

This banjo offers a classic feel and traditional construction that make it a great option for players looking for an approachable and functional instrument.  In Very Good Condition, It has some fairly extensive buckle rash on the back as well as wear around the headstock. Built with a ply maple rim and resonator with a mahogany veneer, it delivers a focused and direct tone with enough warmth to suit a variety of playing styles. The 11" head and compact proportions give it a comfortable response while still maintaining the clarity and projection expected from a resonator banjo.

The maple and ebony-tipped bridge helps maintain definition across the strings, while the overall build keeps the sound balanced and consistent. Its straightforward design makes it easy to work with and dependable for everyday playing.

With its traditional materials and no-frills construction, this banjo is a solid choice for players looking for a reliable instrument that delivers classic tone and playability.
