  • Description: This is a quite common TB100 from the mid sixties but it's been hot-rodded with a custom plectrum neck by banjo expert Billy Gibson, and a upgraded tone ring. The plectrum neck is carved from walnut, and the ebony fingerboard is beautifully inlaid with pearl. The headstock is ebony veneer with fancy and extremely well done abalone by Billy Martin. Martin is know for his precision work and was at one time contracted by the Martin Guitar Co. in their effort to launch their Vega line of banjos. Scale length is 26 1/4" and about 1 1/4" across the nut. The banjo is set up to play well and is very, very loud. Comes with the original Gibson tenor neck and a period hard case.
