A 1949 Gibson RB-100, brass hoop arch top, mahogany neck, pot, and resonator with a Brazilian rosewood fingerboard. This banjo was refinished sometime long ago, possibly by McCabe's guitar shop in Santa Monica, CA, which is apparent from the label installed in place of the original Gibson sticker (see pictures).
This banjo is a fabulous player, with a super crisp vintage tone and an excellent set up with a new head.
Priced by the decrease in value due to the refinishing, this is the perfect banjo to dip your toes into the vintage world, or just a vintage Gibson you can take out for fun! Comes with a hardshell case.
All functionality and playability has been checked by our expert in-house luthier, Cameron Mannor.
