Epiphone EB-98 Banjo, Japan c. 1975

We are selling this very nice old Epiphone resonator banjo which we believe to be a model EB-98 made in Japan in the mid 1970s.  It features a Mahogany type resonator bound in white and a bound Rosewood fingerboard with dot inlay, planetary tuners, thick metal/perhaps aluminum shoeless type one piece flange and a "master tone' type tone ring.  This is a heck of a lot of vintage banjo for the pricer and it's in great shape with low action and  crisp clear tone.   Comes with a dark brown hard case in good serviceable condition.
