Tenor Banjos Standard Scale
Bacon & Day Gordon
This instrument is in Germany. Please contact the owner "Gregor" direct with any questions or quiries.
1930. Identical to a B&D Senorita, but pre dating that model by two years. On the worlds leading Bacon & Day database there are only 24 Gordons recorded, 23 of them are tenors and with a total of only 250-300 being made between 1928-1934, this banjo is very rare. Stunning overall condition and a great sound. HSC. £600. Photos

Gibson Recording King
Made by Gibson in 1930 for retailer Montgomery Ward. This was the highest grade model they produced and was based on thier "Style 6". It features many appointments found on high grade Mastertone banjos. These include, gold plating, maple rim, 40 hole archtop tone ring, multi-coloured (Florentine style) binding, engraved armrest and tension-hoop, hearts and flowers inlays and Planet tuners with solid pearl buttons. Unfortunately the heel has a crack, which was repaired and is solid. Incredibly rare.

VegaVox Special
Here we have a Martin built Vox, with an 11 1/16 rim and a unique tone ring. Research has led me to believe this was a prototype model. One other is known to exist. The tailpiece is functional, but in true Vox style, has lost its rigidity. HSC. £1200. Photos
Vega Style N Custom
A Style N rim, with a custom inlaid neck and a Silver Bell shaped flange. An incredible looking and sounding banjo, to suit a player of any standard. No case. £700. Photos
Vegaphone Artist
Maple, four piece flange, heavily inlaid and engraved fingerboard, carved heel, rhinestones added to the rim, peghead and flange. HSC. £1400. Photos
Windsor Monarch Supremus
A very rare, high grade Windsor in Walnut. Heavy duty archtop rim, gold plated. The resonator could do with some TLC, but is perfectly usable as is. Pretty much untouched from new, as can be seen from the original head which was fitted when it arrived. It is now fitted with a super-tight modern head. Comes complete with its original "Savoy" case. £1000 Photos
