Epiphone Concert Tenor Banjo (1930)



The following information has been drawn from the early 1930’s Epiphone catalogue. The neck is made from lustrous Brazillian Rosewood, the fingerboard is of multiply construction faced with mother of pearl Pyralin. The Pyralin on the fingerboard and head plate is hand engraved and tinted in multicolour floral designs. The wood heel of the neck is hand carved in a beautiful design of flowers and leaves. The resonator is faced with gleaming amber tortoise shell Pyralin inset with innumerable lines of coloured wood marquetry, both around and across the resonator.

The original Grover Deluxe 4-1 gear tuners are all working perfectly and holding tune and the peg buttons are genuine mother of pearl of the finest quality. All of the metal work throughout is in excellent condition, beautifully hand engraved and quadruple gold plated. Grover Deluxe tailpiece with spring cover and adjustment screw, and engraved Epiphone armrest. Set up with new Remo white head, new strings and new bridge.
