Gibson 1932 TB-1 conversion to a Mastertone five string banjo S/N 252-11. The maple neck came from Mr. Frank Neat. The wood rim is what makes this banjo a prewar tone monster. The wood rim can not be reproduced its over 150 years old. New banjos just don't have that sound. The Rim was sent to Mr. Bill Sullivan at First Quality for cutting. The tone ring came from Mr. Curtis McPeake and he in turn bought it from Mr. Paul Hopkins banjo's. Its a flat head polished brass tone ring golden in color. Also installed is a set of Mr. Bill Keith D tuners. Finger board has hearts and flowers inlay and is made of rose wood. Also included is a hard shell case. The only reason for selling is I just don't play it anymore. the video player has bad sound to much bass. No deals and new banjos worth $7,000.00 can't even come close to a prewar banjo's tone or sound. You payed for it. You keep it. There will be no trades for this banjo. Keep it in the USA.
