OK, I'm still playing with the banjo decapitation. In the process of pulling it apart the last time, the binding took a little too much heat and is a little "bubbled". The question is would it be easier to simply pull it all and replace it or sand it down and buff it? It still seems to be firmly attached.

I'd try gentle scraping before replacing....

Thought about that Chris. I also thought about offering the owner the option of putting another color on it.
