ON CONSIGNMENT, NO TRADE OFFERS PLEASE!
(USED) If you've been playing bluegrass for a little while and want to up your banjo game in a big way, take note of this light weight Bishline Patriot, here on consignment! Though the presentation is pretty Spartan, the Patriot model offers a TON of bang for the buck, an American-made banjo that delivers great playability and more than satisfying tone in its price range.
The Patriot features a bevel cut, three-ply maple rim and tone hoop that weighs three pounds less than full weight tone ring banjos. This banjo weighs in at 8 lbs., 5 oz. as opposed to the 11.5 lbs. of a Mastertone banjo.
This instrument has a walnut neck and burled walnut resonator, both with a flat oil finish. The hardware is nickel, and on this example displays a little tarnish on the armrest, but otherwise nice and shiny with minimal pitting. 26 1/4" scale length, flat ebony fingerboard, 1 7/32" bone nut. Currently set up with a 5/8” bridge and dialed in to 89 on the drum dial.
Condition is excellent, frets are more or less perfect. Includes original hard case. These are now $2,395 from Bishline, so this represents a handy savings!
