I'v been Earl's fanatic from my school days just about 1/4 centuly ago.

For our Japanese Bluegrass Fan, late 60's Japan tour of Flatt and Scruggs is still a regend. And I've been wondering what's the spec of his Granada in those days.

From some pictures we could see;
*Granada body
*Keith tuners
*Chrom or Nickel hardware
*H&F inlay without first and final flet position
*Presto tail piece without string end cover
*Fancy arm rest
*22nd fret is very near to its stretcher band
*Mahogany neck?????
*Low bridge
After F&S days, his banjo had new Maple neck with full H&F and narrow headstock.

Who had the neck now? And I've been wishing I'd like to see the details and to have more pictures those days.

Thanks.
