I was previously under the impression that the "resonator" 5 string banjo (on display in Frailers, Cheshire, not for sale unfortunately), was just about as avant garde as banjos got. obviously i was mistaken! |

This link Deering Crossfire will take you to Deering's main page. You'll have to click on the Crossfire link on the page. I guess it doesn't have a separate URL. |

04 Oct 02 - 10:40 AM (#796825) Subject: RE: Solid bodied electric 5 string ! From: Fingerbuster I like it best because it still has the "pot" I dread to think how much one of those beauties would cost over here! |

From: Bee-dubya-ell Fingerbuster - If you're talking about the neck John Monteleone made, it's on Bela's pre-war Mastertone. But, I'm sure Greg Deering built the neck for Bela's Crossfire exactly to his specs. It's probably not the same neck you would find on a stock Crossfire. |
