Saga Style III New 5-String Resonator Banjo

We only have two of these Saga SS-3 banjos left! These last two have nicely figured grain pattern on the resonator back. They have been carefully setup to have low action at the nut and up the neck. They are then played against a much costlier cast-bronze tonering maple-rim banjo to perfect its sound. This Saga SS3 banjo has great appearance, intonation and quality of sound. The banjo pictured below is the precise one that you will received.
