A ‘Deluxe Recording’ tenor banjo of the 1928 American arch top 4-string banjos by Epiphone. It was made in Long Island City, New York.  This deluxe recording model, serial # 7036 is both dramatic-looking and flashy.  The ‘Recording Series Banjos’ gave Epiphone its initial reputation as the top-grade banjos produced at that time. They are fairly rare today and are always fine players. This one is almost untouched and is in pristine condition.
