Banjo Gold Tone WL 200 for sale. £425 + PP
Hi, I'm selling a long time loyal great sounding friend.
Build by Andy Perkins (Andybanjo) 04/2003. In very good condition. Every couple of years I take the banjos I have from Andy Perkins to the shop for a clean and set up. On the last occasion I asked Andy to change the 5 string pip for a slightly taller one to have all 5 strings at same height so I can have a low set up but good 5th string clearance for the thumb to catch the string. Las time Andy commented on it: "now, nth thousands banjos later… this one’s still a lovely banjo".
It has a small mark on the rim, bottom inner side and the faintest of marks on the rear of neck lacquer which I'm sure it can be buffered away.
Sounds mellow but with great balance: sharp, bell like trebles and punchy, buttery bass notes. It shows reasonable sings of use on neck and vellum; frets are good, even and with good height. There are no buzzes even at such low strings action. Called on the label a White Mare, it has the same specs as wl200s on Andybanjos pages and with two set up rods it can be set to any player’s preference.
I hope I can add a few pictures and a link to Youtube where you can see and hear it. I don't play well, so excuse my (humble) attempt at sound sampling. Taped on the camera's micro, unfortunately it doesn't do justice to its sound.
Goes with a gigbag, a strap and a set of new strings.
p£p estimated at around 25 uninsured; any change on that I will refund. I have a card box in which its banjo replacemnet arrived, will pack it snug and nice!)
