Courtesy listing for a friend.
This is a really nice Gibson RB-3 Wreath copy......
Double bound mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard with wreath MOP inlay, double-cut peghead, bound Cox mahogany resonator with dual concentric rings, Cox 3-ply maple rim, Sullivan 20-hole flathead tone ring (same ring as the Gibson-Crowe), dual coordinator rods, one piece flange, 24 bracket notched tension hoop, new Remo head, 5th string capo spikes installed at 7 and 9, planetary tuners with geared 5th peg, and Presto tailpiece. All of the hardware is nickel plated.
The inside of the resonator is signed by the late, great Earl Scruggs.
Comes shipped in a good, serviceable hard shell case. (Strap and tuner not included.)
Would like to trade it for a nice maple or walnut archtop (raised head) banjo.
A vintage Gold Star G-12 plus cash would be ideal.
A sound file of this banjo is available.
In case you might want to see and play this one in person, the banjo is located in the Bedford, VA area.
