The reason my banjo is totally dismantled on my workbench is to give me something to do, so that I don't keep pestering CCGX over how it's going with my D-18, which I otherwise would.

And, breaking down a banjo, you get an otherwise unavailable opportunity to clean components like the tone ring which is almost always tucked away out of reach.

BUT DON'T REMOVE THE NECK FROM THE POT IF YOU ARE NEW TO BANJO MAINTENANCE. If that's you, you should take the banjo to a banjo tech.
