I'd say it depends on how much money you have to spend and how sure you are that you want to play the banjo. If you buy a new one and then decide that you do not like it you will not be able to sell it for as much as you paid for it, where if you buy a used one you should be able to. I have built 5 banjos over the past couple of years and repaired several before that, to me they are easy and fun to work on because everything is bolted together so it can be taken off again and redone if it is not quite right. I would recommend waiting on a kit till you have played a banjo a little and found out if you like it, a kit built banjo will likely not have great resale value. Building from scratch is fun because you can pick the wood, but only if you have a lathe and bandsaw, minimally. Roger Siminoff has a good book on building banjos, I can't think what the title is but it is widely available. Zach
