Gibson Banjo

Hi All, (Previously listed as an RB-Deluxe from the 90s, further research clarified just RB from the mid-2000s. Apologies.) Very nice, very playable RB. Blonde maple finish. Snowflake inlays. Tone hoop = Lighter, and Ive always loved the sound of a tone hoop. (My trick is to tighten the head to A/A#, whereas Im G# for tone rings) Great banjo. I have absolutely no complaints. I simply have two tone hoop gibsons (As I said, I love the sound). This ironically is the one I play the most, but the other is older so Im opting to keep that one. One of the snowflake inlays has a slight blemish, but thats the only negative Ive noticed: See the pic of the head up close, its the lowest (or highest) inlay snowflake. Fully intact, just has one side as less glossy. I never noticed until assessing it for sale. No missing inlays. Straight neck. Not in the mood to ship, so northeast pickup/swap only. I am willing to drive a bit, also....I get around New England fairly well, and down to Eastern PA/NJ at times. Ill try to be generous towards any travel expenses, which may come off the price. Let me know! And happy to answer any other questions, or take more pics. Not quite thinking of a trade, but always ask: I wouldnt want to miss something interesting!! Partial to Omes, Deering, Recording King…..Mahogany in general.....Tenor banjos....Curious about an archtop...Woodie tone rings....Lots of weaknesses. Lastly, dont be fooled by the low end RB......This is a totally stage-worthy, professional gibson banjo. It may not have presentation-grade maple in it, but it certainly is a fantastic workhorse. Frets are great, playability is 110%, neck is perfect. (Strap and tuner not included, the tailpiece will also be the presto that it came with)
