Gibson Mastertone style 5-string banjo in excellent condition!
Beautiful one piece flamed curly maple neck, ebony fretboard with style -6 MOP inlay, pearloid peghead overlay with 'Gibson' script, two-way truss rod, genuine Gibson RB-100 resonator, one piece flange, 3-ply maple rim, 20-hole pre-war style flathead tone ring, 24 bracket notched tension hoop, dual coordinator rods, geared planetary tuners, 5th string capo spikes installed at 7 and 9, heavy-duty adjustable Presto style tailpiece.
I've made a few changes since some of these pics were taken. I swapped the un-plated tone ring for a nickel plated one, removed the wooden armrest cover (included if buyer wants it), added one additional resonator wall lug (bringing the total to four), and also installed a flip cover on the tailpiece.
This is a pro quality banjo that plays and sounds as good as banjos at 2-3x the price.
It's currently set-up with a new USA Remo head, and an 11/16" Snuffy Smith bridge. The action is low and fast with no shims or alterations. It will come shipped in a very nice tweed TKL archtop hard shell case.
Insured shipping is $50 in the lower 48 states. PayPal is accepted.
More pics and info are available upon request.
Reasonable offers considered.
