I've noticed Jerry Walter of the Gateway Singers with three different banjos. When Jerry passed away, who got his banjos? I'm trying to find information about his early Vega long neck banjo with just two additional frets seen on the Hungry i album. It looks like a custom job. This was before the three extra frets Pete Seeger model came out. Does anyone know who I could contact to find out about this banjo, or the one seen on earlier pictures that looks like an Orpheum banjo with an extra long neck? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.
