Used Gibson RB-250 (1984)

Used 1984 Gibson Mastertone RB-250 featuring a 3-ply maple rim and a two-piece flange in excellent condition and including its original hard-shell case. This banjo is in exceedingly fine original condition, especially for its age, with barely any visible wear or checking in the original lacquer finish on the resonator, rim, or neck. It's a mighty fine sounding banjo, too, with a nice woody character and enough bite to cut through any mix. All hardware appears to be original, including the Gibson branded geared tuners and clamshell tailpiece, and the plating is in exceptionally good shape throughout. Frets were lightly dressed in preparation for sale and are level with plenty of material remaining and nibs intact.
