Description

Description: Vintage 1936-1949 Gibson PB-250 4-String Archtop Tenor Banjo with Changed Neck

Condition: This is a great playing vintage banjo. Various surface scratches, nicks, dings, dents and weather checking throughout the instrument with some corrosion on the metal parts. Resonator has been refinished and oversprayed. Neck is a Gibson Mastertone model and is unoriginal to the body. Neck has also been refinished and over-sprayed. Fingerboard and frets have light play wear but plenty of life left in them. All parts are in perfect working condition. There are a couple cracks on the inside of the resonator and a few chips in the wood though none of them affect playability, function or sound.

Body: 11” diameter archtop head with 24 lugs on a nickel tension hoop. Nickel arm rest, tailpiece and one-piece flange. Maple pot with single metal coordinator rod and a no-hole archtop tone ring. Double-bound mahogany resonator with dual concentric rings on back and eagle decal on inside and back. Factory order number dates the pot to 1936 – 1949.

Neck: Mahogany Gibson Mastertone neck with bound Ebony fingerboard, pearloid bow tie inlays and a 1 3/16” nut. Headstock features bound overlay and nickel gear tuners with ivoroid buttons. 23” scale length. Neck to 1965 – 1967.

Weight: 10lbs, 1.5oz.

Playability/Sound: This is a beautiful sounding, great playing banjo! The archtop design provides a nice, bright tone and the size of the pot allows for plenty of resonance and volume. The neck is extremely comfortable and works very nicely with the body.

Case: Includes original hardshell case.
