This is a nice 1984 Gibson Mastertone that had been in storage for many years before I got it. It was very musty smelling so I took it apart and carefully cleaned the entire banjo. The banjo is all original except for the head and bridge. The bridge is a half inch Golden Gate. The only odd thing about this banjo is how the railroad spikes were installed. Someone purposely made divots in the neck for the spikes. My luthier inspected this banjo and said it was in great shape and that the divots made it to easy to set the string underneath. It has a three ply rim and a very big voice. I am selling it only because I have come to the realization that I am a Deering girl. This neck and action are difficult for me to get used to. There is a case but I have never been able to get the musty smell out. I will include the case if you want it. please feel welcome to contact me with any questions. Edited to add shipping costs and a photo of the resonator.
