    This isn't coming from China where they have NEVER made a good banjo...this is coming from Virginia, USA where I work on the real deal every day!
    This IS NOT a laser-cut automated or burn in process, but the engraving that is done on a pantograph machine and guided by hand, then the lettering is filled just like they were done in the 1930's - so these look authentic without being perfect!
    Pre-War Gibson banjo neck builders, repair people, luthiers and pearl inlay artists ... DON'T LET THESE GET AWAY!
    GET THEM WHILE YOU CAN!
