Long Scale Gibson Banjo question...
First, apologies for a banjo question, but I dont want to join a banjo forum to ask, and I figured one of you will know the answer.
A friend asked me to restring and set up his Grandmother's Gibson Banjo.
From the length of the neck, I am assuming it is an extra long scale style banjo.
My issue is that it seems the fret markers are in the wrong place.
For example the 5th and 7th markers are located on the 6th and 8th frets.
Am I missing something?
It is messing with my head.
Secondly, what are these usually tuned to?
