1990 Gibson RB3 serial # 3-9009-132. Bought from Bill Sullivan in the spring of 1991 and have owned it since new. Reno inlay, spikes at 7, 8 & 9. Have had a few different rings in it over the years and foolishly sold the original Kulesh ring. Now it has a Gary Price no-hole ring in it. Fairly powerful with this ring and maybe leans a bit toward the brighter side of the spectrum. Had a different tailpiece on it for a while and the original is back on it now but got a bit tarnished while sitting in the case---I haven't tried to polish it but it should shine up nicely if you wanted. Replaced the 5th peg. There is a flake of laquer chipped off on the peghead next to the 4th string tuner post that is visible in one of the photos. Just installed a new Remo head since the photos were taken.
I'll be at Wintergrass in Bellevue, WA at the end of February and will take the banjo with me if anyone is interested in trying it out.
