Been searching for a mb 250, from Amazon, Musicians Friend, Sweet Water Music, Music 123, etc. etc. etc. I can not find a new one for sale. I did, however find one on E Bay. I got my mb 250 about 6 months ago, so I guess it may be one of the last ones made.

Wow, no more Gibson style banjo's are being made, kinda of freaky, it is like saying they will no longer make Les Paul's.

One of of those 4 is now in my bedroom. :) Please don't flame me. It is my first banjo and I bought it for frailing.
