1982 GOLD STAR GF-100. Mahogany neck and resonator, with Flying Eagle inlay. This is one of the early Japanese-made banjos and should not be confused with the newer Gold Stars, which are not made in Japan. There are a few scuff marks on the back of the peghead and elsewhere which can be seen in the pics, and there a couple of very tiny (and very unnoticeable) screw holes in the side of the neck where a sliding capo was removed. There is wear on the first eight frets, and I just noticed that one of the truss rod cover screws is missing. Overall this is a pretty decent banjo, and probably a bargain on today's market.
