First of all, I advertised this banjo a couple of months ago. However, a combination of computer and internet problems made it hard to respond. All fixed now! My apologies to any and all who sent inquiries.
Anyway, this is a 1994/1995 Gibson RB5 Century reissue Mastertone 5 string banjo. The condition is excellent and includes OHC. Keith Tuners on 2nd and 3rd strings. Railroad spikes on frets 7, 8, 9, and 10 (my Bluegrass group played in some weird keys!). This banjo new would be over $8000 from a reputable dealer and, I believe, you can't find them new anymore with the beautiful highly burled walnut that this banjo has. Includes original tuners if you want to replace the Keith tuners. The walnut gives it a very mature, aged, and subtle tone. My other banjo is Granada Flying Eagle with a Huber tone ring which I find better suited for the melodic/fiddle style I play. Photos are low megapixel. Can send higher resolution photos via email if so requested.
