I've just listed a beautiful example of one of the rarest and most unusual of all prewar Gibson banjo models. Thanks for looking!

Thanks for sharing this great example of "never say never" about Gibson!



I didn't know about the two-piece flange being previously known to only accompany a Mastertone tone ring. What surprises me most is the blank Mastertone block. I can't recall ever seeing an original Gibson neck with one of those.



I've heard of an original Mastertone decal inside the rim of a sub-Mastertone banjo.

Gibson finding a good use for "obsolete" (or at least non-catalog) parts on the shelf.

I've reduced the price on this one to $2,650 shipped. Thanks for looking!
