This is a courtesy listing for a friend.
He's selling a really nice Gibson RB-3 Wreath copy......folks, this is a steal of a deal for a banjo like this!
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 only issue with this banjo is the heel was originally cut for a two-piece flange, and has now been modified to fit a one-piece flange.
The inside of the resonator is signed by the late, great Earl Scruggs.
Comes shipped in a good, serviceable hard shell case.
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.
