    Description

    A beautiful, original, pre-war 1925 Gibson Mastertone PB3 tube and plate banjo with Grover pancake tuners (ivory), an archtop ball-bearing Mastertone tone ring, fiddle-shaped peg head with the pearl Gibson script logo and diamond/ curlicues inlays, a m
    ahogany-stained back, I believe, a maple neck, and a maple rim.
    I'm told this would be an easy conversion to a 5-string.
    Original, hard shell case is missing the handle and kind of musty-smelling. Has been in storage for a long time!
    Serial number 8262-6, with the Gibson Guarantee plate inside the instrument.
    This banjo has been evaluated by an industry expert and judged to be sound, all original, and in very good, if not excellent condition. (PM me if you'd like more info)
