Banjer's right. So,as I said, listen to the thing first. You can always sell it or trade it later. That'll likely happen a lot anyway. Half the fun of being a banjo picker is swapping them around. Kinda like pocket knives. Now, Banjer,I want to go to the same pawn shops you go to! I'd love to find even a junker for 50 bucks.Chip A. :)
