This Granda was custom ordered from Gibson with nickel-plated hardware in place of gold-plated hardware, likely as a nod to Earl’s famous pre-war Granada. Other standard Granda specs are in place, including a maple resonator & neck, rosewood fingerboard with “Hearts & Flowers” inlay pattern, pre-war style peghead (also with “Hearts & Flowers” inlay), and original Gibson hardshell case with shroud. The banjo shows almost no play wear at all, and no spikes have been installed.
