1920s Washburn DeLuxe Resonator Tenor Banjo
Here's a beautiful old Lyon & Healy Washburn tenor banjo with all the trimmings. The "prince" inlay in the headstock is typical of high-end Regal-made instrument output at the time and the blurry lines between Regal and Washburn builds sure get even blurrier on this fella.
With a finely-carve heel, multi-piece neck with slick backstrapping, engraved hardware, and engraved pearl inlays in the board, this one has the looks... and then you turn it around and check out the marquetry-style inlay on the resonator!
Jake Too got it back up to snuff for a friend of the shop -- giving it a level/dress of the frets and setup work.
