Will appears to be playing an RB-100.What if any modifications has he made to it ?
?????
Should be read like: "What, if any, modifications has he made to it?" Or: "What – if any – modifications has he made to it?"
He discusses two of his banjos in this 2020 interview

...but he does seem to have an rb-100 style banjo too: bowtie headstock and only one binding on the resonator, which is not among those mentioned in that interview (2011 Huber truetone and 2006 Gibson Earl Scruggs)

However, I don't think rb-100s have bow tie inlay like his (minimal dots instead)
Appears to have an RB-250 in earlier videos and a RB-100 with Nick Dumas in the later videos.The RB-100 sounds like it might have a tone ring added to it.
Will is well known in the Pacific Northwest. He and his father have rotated through a bunch of banjos, and previously favored Burlile tone rings, but I haven't talked with either of them in a few years. You could ask him if you're really curious, he practices law in Nashville:
I like the weight of the RB-100.Not sure if a tone would make a great improvement.
RB-100 with a Berliner tone ring,according to his hangout website.
A Berlile tone ring.
I spoke with Will today.He was very approachable and excited to speak of his banjos.His RB-100 is stock with a Steve Huber set up.I guess I’ll have to give Steve a call next.
