Billybilt 13" Open Back Banjo - $800 (Portland)

Selling this gorgeous banjo made by Billybilt in Winnipeg Canada.
It's about a year old and in excellent condition, hardly any fretwear.
It's a pretty beefy instrument with the tone to match: 13" pot, 27" scale, 1 5/16" nut width.
The pot is from the 1890's and features 30 brackets, most original, and a goatskin head.
The neck is newly built and made of figured flamed maple with and ebony fretboard and tasteful inlays throughout.
It has a nice ringy tone with a good amount of sustain and a strong low end.
