I'm new to the banjo. I'm basically a guitar player of 19 years who picked up the banjo a few years back. I'm self taught for both guitar and banjo and I"m really starting to love the banjo. I'm looking to buy an old vintage banjo and I've found a few built in the 20s that are intriguing. Since I don't know much about the instrument I was hoping some veterans could lend their advice on what brands I should be looking for. My main guitar is a Gibson, so I'm familiar with them as guitar makers and I'm guessing they make a good banjo too? Another I've found is Weymann which by all accounts is a fine instrument. What are some other brands/models I should be looking at? I'd like to stay in the $500-$700 range.
