This particular banjo is maple, with a warm brown stain.

The "Texas" scooped ebony fingerboard has Chuck's distinctive offset abalone dot position markers..

The peghead is simple, and has a classic MOP & abalone fleur de lis inlaid in its ebony headstock overlay.

As on all of Chuck's Vintage series banjos, the tuners (including the 5th string tuner) are PegHeds brand 4:1 planetaries, masking as fiddle-style friction tuners.

The 12-inch, 2-ply maple pot is home to a Dobson-style tone ring that provides a very mellow and rounded tone. The hardware is all non-plated brass, which will develop a nice old-looking patina.

It comes set up with a No-Knot tailpiece and a Renaissance brand head. This is one great sounding old-time banjo!
