I always thought those RB800's from the 70's were cool. Do you still have it?

Hi John
Unfortunately I sold it in 1991. Times have changed and I wouldn't sell it if I had it now. Pretty fancy with the gold plated and engraved metal work and the highly figured maple neck along with the purfling around the resonator and neck.
A nice sounding banjo but probably not quite up to the sound of the current Mastertones (when properly setup). Mine was a 1974 model. My current Banjo for bluegrass is a locally built (2003) White Swallow Gold deluxe and has a bigger sound than the 800.
