1924 Gibson PB-5

Here we have an exceedingly rare Gibson plectrum banjo, the only example of this model we've ever seen. This sweet-sounding banjo was a top-of-the-line, Loar-period instrument, with original gold plated hardware, and arrowhead pearl button tuners. It originally came with a "trap-door" resonator, but that was removed and is no longer with the instrument. This plectrum has boat-loads of rich, warm tone, due in no small part to its original Rogers calfskin head. The original brass tension hoop was professionally repaired.

$2250 including original (rough) hard case
