These Flinthill FHB280 banjos were designed to have a pre-war vibe and tone. Solid Mahogany resonator with purfling rings, planetary tuners, decorative MOP peg-head, solid Mahogany neck and nickel-plated metal parts are just some of the features that make the Flinthill sound and perform like many more expensive instruments. This one is in good used playing condition showing some minor marks and scratches from use but still remains attractive, and it plays great with a straight neck and comfortable action. We don't know the exact age but it appears to be at least several years old. Comes with a padded gig bag. Specs below:
