The neck features a sleek, slender “D” shape paired with a premium A-grade ebony fingerboard, making it an absolute joy to navigate. Beautifully adorned with original custom-engraved inlays designed by Greg Deering himself, this instrument looks every bit as good as it sounds. From local jam circles to world-class stages, the Sierra has earned its reputation for legendary reliability and world-class tone.

This banjo plays and sounds fantastic! Spike capos have been installed at the 7th and 9th frets. The arm rest has some discolored plating from something (tape?) being on it for a while, which of course your arm will cover anyway. That’s really about it. this banjo is in very good+ condition and comes with a hard case.
