It's also bound front and back with ivory colored binding. The Mahogany neck is bound as well and has a nice feel with very little wear. The fingerboard is accented with classic diamond style inlay. You've got chrome hardware throughout, a geared 5th tuner and pearl style tuner buttons. This Alvarez 5 String Banjo comes with the original hard case too.
