Bart Reiter retired from making banjos at the end of 2020 but in the decade or so before that he didn’t build any engraved inlay Vega-style models like this Whyte Laydie No. 2. Which was annoying because he made such nice replicas of this classic banjo . This example was made in 2007 and it’s in excellent structural and cosmetic condition. The ebony fingerboard has almost no wear and the frets are nearly perfect. Comes in the hardshell case shown.
