Rare Bowtie banjo made by Gibson in original condition including original orange-lined Gibson case.
This instrument has the original thin rim without the golden Gibson decal inside. The serial on the back of the peghead is 805393.
The big boxy Kluson tuners working well. One coordinator rod and a brass pyramid-shaped nut to hold the upper lag. Resonator with the two concentric rings and 3 thumbscrews to hold it on. Wide frets in good condition.
L. 87cm, scale 58cm, nut width 30mm
This instrument has several signs of age and use like scratches, rubbings and a small repair on the peghead. The string action is phenomenally low, the sound is awesome! Ready to play with CGDA setup.
This instrument is used! Pictures are part of the description.
