Got my 1st banjo in late April as an early birthday gift... It was purchased new... Not an expensive instrument (Gold Tone CC-50RP) as I'm just beginning but; this morning I felt a "bump" on the underside of the neck just below the nut... Closer inspection revealed a crack opening up. It's never been dropped or otherwise abused and I try to keep the humidity pretty well stable in my office where It's stored since I have several guitars valued at quite a bit more than the Gold Tone...
Suggestions welcome...
I had hoped to build myself my next banjo- probably an open back; but, I'm not completing that anytime soon...
TIA,
