Description
This instrument is in Very-Good Condition showing only the following; Some very minor hairline scratches as well as couple minor finish dings throughout, minor head wear, very slight tarnishing of the hardware as well as some very minor fret wear mainly on the first two frets. Included is the original Deering hardshell case which is also in Very-Good Condition showing only some minor degradation.
Tonally, The Julia Belle is specifically designed to shine when played in lower tunings such as E or D, though she does sound wonderful when played in standard G tuning. She is made of mahogany which brings out a beautiful warmth, and also boasts a radiused fingerboard and a brand new head design by Evans that recreates the fat, full tones of the original 5 Star heads. This head is a bit thicker than a standard head and that helps to bring out the deeper tones that Alison loves in a banjo
We inspect each an every instrument we ship out for maximum playability. We adjust the action and adjust intonation when needed. If you would like a specific adjustment, just add it to your order notes and we would be happy to adjust to your liking.
