This Item is in Excellent Condition. There is a little wear on the head from playing and some small chips on the finish of the neck plate (see pics) but everything is fully functional and structurally sound. No other blemishes can be found. Includes original Nechville case.
With over 40 years experience in desigining banjos, Tom Nechville has become well known for his many innovations and extremely high quality banjos. This particular instrument is one of the rare "exotic wood" series, featuring a beautiful rosewood top and flamed / spalted maple neck, and is no exception to the level of craftsmanship Nechville has become synonymous with. Spikes are installed on the 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th frets.
To design the Meteor, Nechville adapted his acoustic neck to a sleek electric body, and added a dual active pickup system for a wide range of tonal possibilities. This stunning instrument is easy to play, sounds great, and looks remarkable, making it equal parts every day player and collectible display piece.
