1926 Gibson Ball Bearing TB-3
(FON-8206-XX)
Very good overall condition.
All original parts, with the exception of a newer Remo head. The neck and resonator look to have been nicely refinished. It does need one (hex head) resonator thumbscrew. The fingerboard is showing quite a bit of wear, especially at the first few positions. Missing a small piece of neck binding on the bass side near the pot assembly.
For most 5-string players, the neck issues won't be a problem. For the tenor players out there, I can personally deliver the banjo to 4-string guru/luthier Vinnie Mondello (4stringbanjos.com) for his analysis. I'm sure he can bring it back to it's former glory at a very reasonable cost.
Comes in the original hard case, which needs a replacement handle (about 12-15 bucks).
$1895, + shipping.
Will also consider trades.
