This Gibson made banjo is in beautifully clean condition. Included is the original case, also squeaky clean. Rounding out the package is an original Epiphone hang tag and the price tag from when it first hung in the store back in the mid 60s. It pretty much looks like a new banjo - seems like it was never played.
We honestly aren't banjo players here. We probably won't be making anyone any videos of this one. But, we do know how to evaluate a fretted instrument and make sure that it is fully functional and playable. We check the frets and neck, verifying that the truss rod can be adjusted and action set. That is the case with this banjo. We are very confident that you'll love it.
After some back and forth with those in the know, we've dug in and found that the tone ring on this banjo is a 20 hole flat head Cooper Foundry unit as found on some Gibson RB banjos and seemingly very rare on this Epiphone model.
