    Paramount Leader 4 string Antique Banjo Vintage 1924 mostly original, in original hard case
    Needs TLC but no major problems.
    This Vintage Paramount Leader 4 string banjo from 1924 is mostly original. Only Bridge and 3 hooks are replacements. There is no back. T
    his is a first-rate Professional instrument in need of some minor T LC.
    We think this banjo just needs someone who knows banjos to do a little work on it and it can be returned to excellent condition again with minimal refurbishing and a good set-up. The tuners and other hardware work, and the natural head fees sturdy.
    T
    he Frets show almost no wear and mahogany neck is straight and not twisted. However, the finish on the neck up to about the 6
    th
    fret is worn down to the wood, (see pictures) but the neck is otherwise in good shape. So, we think the neck just needs to be refinished. We dated the banjo by a chart from AcousticMusic.org at 1924.
    (please see screen shot included)
    The original case is worn with some damage at the tail but fully functional with original handle and quite sturdy. All closures work. The stop ribbon on the pot end of the case has disconnected in the middle due to age, but looks like an easy replacement.
    We googled around and found Paramount Leaders in perfect shape at an average price of about 00. So, we are offering this instrument at less than half that amount.
