While far from the cleanest example of these banjos, it’s always fun to find old dusty things tha say Gibson on it and I’m glad to help find this one a new home.
This 1930 TB-1 has the fairly uncommon “Coke bottle” headstock and the equally uncommon single bound resonator. Unfortunately, it came with a broken tailpiece, a missing armrest, and a disintegrating tension hoop. The tuners are absent as well, but that’s because I used them for another project. The frets are very worn in the first position, but as this will likely wind up as a five string conversion, I left them alone.
The flange has some light pull but no cracks. All resonator lugs, Thumb screws, L Brackets, hooks, and nuts are original. The skin head appears to be replacement.
I have some modern nickel hardware that should work with this banjo should the buyer need it. We can work something out.
Ships in the original hardshell case.
Thanks for looking and please reach out with any questions.
