Description
The Masterpiece was Geoff Stelling's Ultimate Contribution to the world of the High End Banjo.  This is a limited edition banjo that is stunning and would be the crown jewel of so many collections.  This is all original and super clean with a modern Stelling Hardshell Case that is also super clean.
The banjo has the vintage Stelling Shell with a Curly Maple Neck and Resonator.  The fretboard is ebony with stunning Pearl Inlay.  The headstock also features inlay work along with an abalone truss rod cover that sets it off nicely.
The hardware is Gold and Fully Engraved.  I do mean everything.  The banjo is covered with true professional top of the line engraving and will turn heads.  All of the hardware is also original.
This is all original to the point that even the Head and Bridge are Stelling parts.
Stelling Banjos have gotten insanely hard to find due to Geoff Stelling retiring from Banjo Building.  Geoff Stelling was also inducted into the American Banjo Museum Hall of Fame last year.  If you want the best Stelling Banjo this is it.
Condition
This banjo is in exceptional condition and has been professionally cleaned at the Banjo Warehouse.
The gold is remarkable.  I can see a sliver of wear on the armrest but that is it.  The gold is glowing.  The wood also looks fantastic and has been waxed to a nice shine.  The fretboard is cleaned and oiled and the frets look almost untouched.  The store I bought this from said it was in a huge private collection from another music dealer and just sat in the collection.  The banjo is entirely stunning.  There are spikes at the 7th, 9th and 10th frets.  The case is basically new as well.
Set Up
This has been set up at the Banjo Warehouse.  The Stelling head is set to 90.  The bridge is a Stelling and the intonation is set.  The strings are the only non original part and are Huber Truetone .10 gauge strings.  The banjo is set up to play and sound incredible.
Even with the price on this banjo I have no doubt this will turn some heads.  I am going to extreme lengths to have Stelling Banjos in stock and I also paid a load of money for this.
