Product Description
Vintage Antique 1920's (early) Sovereign Mandolin Banjo + Hardcase in fully functional condition. This quality New Jersey built instrument plays and sounds good.
Instrument is built from solid birch neck with maple & mahogany center stripe, laminated birch tonepot with neat ebony inlays on exterior veneer, and stained pearwood fretboard. Tuning machines are original and good quality and tuner bushings have been installed to ensure precision tuning for many years to come. Nut is original, frets have been cleaned up and re-crowned, calfskin head is original, tonepot brackets are original but many attachment screws were missing so equivalent unplated brass screws and shims have been installed. There is a small very old stress crack at the heel that was repaired that is stable no issues. Original tailpiece was also missing so an old 1920's period correct replacement from my parts bin has been installed. Bridge is a modern ebony topped maple three foot style. Most of the head tension hooks and nuts were also missing so a full matching set of modern nickel plated equivalents from Stewmac have been installed as well. Instrument has been repaired / re-assembled using period correct hide glue and slothead screws throughout. Headstock decal and paper label long gone but hardware and design of this almost 100 year old instrument matches other Sovereign banjos from this era (and I've sold this brand before and am familiar with them). Hardcase is not original to instrument but period correct and in good condition.
New Jersey built quality!
I keep this instrument bubble wrapped inside case at all times and will ship with even more bubble wrap. This thing is a very cool, playable, American made, highly collectible, you won't be disappointed!
Due to high UPS & FEDEX rate increases, I now prefer to ship USPS. This neat old banjo will be bubble wrapped inside hardcase and professionally packaged.
Thank you for your interest, message me with questions. My name is Dutch.
