Fri, 19 Jun 2026 12:08 CST eric@banjohangout.org https://www.banjohangout.org/classified/115166 This banjo has a cherry rim, neck and Romero-style armrest, a jatoba fretboard, and raw brass hardware. The wood has a Tru Oil finish. I will sell the banjo without the armrest for $30 less. The 12" block rim has a wood tone ring profile turned into the top. The head is a Renaissance, and I can exchange it for a Fiberskyn at no charge. I made the Van Eps style tension hoop and the dowel stick yoke. The head, tailpiece, strings, and Gotoh tuners came from Smakula Fretted Instruments and the hooks, nuts, shoes and endbolt came from Ode Banjos. The brass plate on the dowel stick has my name, the banjo number, and the town and year of production. There is a two way truss rod in the neck, accessed from the heel. The scale length is 25-1/2", and the nut is 1-3/8" wide and made from Corian. The 5th string nut is tall, to keep all the strings in the same plane, but I can shorten it so the 5th string rests on the 5th fret if you prefer. I can add 5th string spikes for $5 each. If you want a case I can send the banjo in a Superior CD-1536 or CD-2536 for $175. It is also fine to ship the banjo without a case if you don’t want one.

This 1929 prewar Gibson began its life as a TB-1 (tenor banjo) and was later professionally converted with a correct-style 5-string neck, transforming it into a true bluegrass machine. It retains all of its original components, making it an outstanding option for anyone seeking an authentic prewar Gibson without a tone ring. The original 1/4" brass hoop and nearly 100-year-old rim deliver a warm, punchy response that proves just how powerful an uncut hoop banjo can be. Recently set up with a Turtle Hill Remo head, this banjo is playing and sounding excellent. Weighing just over 7 pounds, it’s lightweight, responsive, and comfortable for long sessions without sacrificing tone. If you’re searching for an all-original, lightweight prewar Gibson that truly has “the sound,” this is one worth serious consideration.

The head is a Renaissance, and I can exchange it for a Fiberskyn at no charge. I made the Van Eps style tension hoop, the tone ring, and the dowel stick yoke.

The brass plate on the dowel stick has my name, the banjo number, and the town and year of production. There is a two way truss rod in the neck, accessed from the heel.

This is the second walnut archtop guitar I've made with a one-piece back, and I have enough wood in the board to make one more.?This guitar has a 17-3/8” lower bout width and is built mostly following the design in Bob Benedetto’s excellent book on archtop guitar construction. The scale length is 25”, the nut width is 1-3/4”, and the fretboard has a 12? radius. The back, sides, neck, blocks and linings are walnut, the headstock overlay, truss rod cover, fretboard, bridge, tailpiece and endpin are zebrawood, and the soundboard is Sitka spruce from Alaska Tonewoods. This guitar is finished with Tru Oil and has Gotoh tuners and a Corian nut. There is a two way truss rod in the neck. I don’t have a case for this guitar, as my supplier doesn’t have archtop cases.

The maple neck is everything you'd expect from Robin with the craftsmanship, profile, and playability. You don't see many Robin Smith necks for sale and there's a reason for that. Robin built the pot around a 1927 Gibson TB-1 bracket/shoe rim. The hardware is American Made Banjo Co. and the maple resonator is from Steve Gill. At the heart of this banjo is a Huber HR-30 20-hole tone ring. The first seven frets have just been replaced by Casey Sullivan at Huber Banjo so this one is ready to go for a long time. If you have any questions or desire additional pictures, don't hesitate to ask. Thanks for looking!
