It always feels great to finish a customer project! This 1928 Gibson Style 1 came to me with a worn, non-matching 5-string neck and a resonator that had seen better days. This banjo came from an unusual 1928 batch featuring the “Coke bottle” headstock shape. To restore its period-correct appearance, I built a new 5-string neck and replacement resonator, complete with matching stain and finish. Another beautiful old Gibson ready to make music again!

Check out the photos and the video!

Great looking job.

Very tasteful bringing it back to its original design.

Well Done!
