1931 CE Paragon 17 fret (short scale) tenor banjo with newly made repro neck. Clifford Essex didn’t make short scale CE tenor banjos so here is a perfect opportunity to own one. The banjo was originally a plectrum model and has been converted to short scale using some of the original neck parts. The work was carried out by Edinburgh Luthier Jock Westwater, Jock is known for his fine exquisite luthier work and has reproduced many Epiphone, Paragon and Paramount replicas.
The Clifford pot assembly is all original and in great condition, the banjo has great cutting power and is so easy to play with nice low action. The new neck is made from maple with centre ebony strip and original heel cap. The tuners are also original Grover gear type and holding tune well. Comes with a hard case…

A good friend Mick Maguire from County Meath called by to give the Paragon a test run.
