This banjo (or Gibson clone) belonging to Rick Faris went missing following the 2026 SPBGMA convention in Nashville.[unverified]

Description

The instrument features a Gary Price replica wreath pattern neck with a Brazilian rosewood fingerboard. The owner reports multiple small "character marks" that can identify the instrument.[unverified]

Case

  • Purple-lined interior[unverified]
  • Silver spray paint remnants on exterior lid texture[unverified]
  • Braided handle[unverified]
  • Missing rivet on neck-side D-ring[unverified]

Circumstances

Rick Faris won "Bluegrass Songwriter of the Year" at SPBGMA on Saturday evening, January 2026. Upon returning to Owensboro, Kentucky, he discovered the banjo had not made the return trip. Faris suspects it may have been "picked up by mistake" rather than intentionally stolen, noting that convention attendees commonly transport multiple instruments and that winter weather may have caused hurried packing.[unverified]
