1979 Gibson RB 250 mahogany banjo with great (and can be loud) blue grass tone. Nice condition with 46 years of patina on the metal work I never bother to remove. The back has a small (probably humidity) surface crack and a little buckle rash. The neck was replaced by Gibson under waranty in 1980 and is still in new condition. I have all the original paperwork concerning the neck replacement plus the original purchase receipt. The case shows the patina of it's 46 years but is still in nice condition.
