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 from log to wood rim. New banjos can never claim that as they just don't have that aged sound. This 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. No deals or trades. Keep's it in the USA.
