And you have to love the carved top. Gorgeous photos Graham.

Cool! like a 381/365/mandolinn/banjo??

Never seen one of those before. That's one hell of a find!

Karl: It looks to be the original tailpiece.

John Minutaglio's 330 only has 4 strings. I'd send that back with the warranty card if I were you John

Yes, all the Banjolines had accent vibratos on them....mine is identical to Graham's except mine is Fireglo. One in the 1968 catalog appears to have gold hardware....wonder where that one is!

Graham, is your Mapleglo 6006 the one that was on ebay recently?? If it is yours is only two numbers away from mine. Cool!!

A couple oddballs that unfortunately don't belong to me.

Cool. Here's one that belongs to me...

Essentially a Banjoline with 8 strings, Custom ordered.

Sweeeeet. Checkered binding on a headstock just makes a guitar/bass look so classy.

An option that I think we all would love to see return on certain models.

My 1972 4001 had checkered binding on the body, but not the headstock. Was checkered body binding common?

Dave, all the deluxe basses had checkered binding on the body until early to mid 1973.
