Planet Five 5-String Banjo – Mahogany & MOP, Waverly Fiberskyn 2, Five‑Star Planet Tuners
This vintage Planet Five 5‑string open‑back banjo combines classic craftsmanship with sought‑after upgrades. Constructed from mahogany and accented with mother‑of‑pearl inlays, it is fitted with a Waverly Fiberskyn 2 head for a warm, stable tone ideal for old‑time and clawhammer playing. A standout feature is its complete set of authentic Five‑Star Planet planetary‑gear tuners, easily identified by the engraved Saturn‑style planet logo and “Five” marking. These tuners, a respected continuation of the original Ludwig design, offer smooth 4:1 geared tuning with vintage appeal.
Measuring approximately 37" x 11.5" x 3", this lightweight instrument delivers both playability and traditional charm. The open‑back design, nickel‑plated hardware, and quality build make it a fine choice for players and collectors alike.
Condition:
Good condition overall, showing light wear and patina consistent with age and honest use. Finish has small marks from handling, but there are no broken parts and all components function properly.
