This is a 2004 Gibson Banjo that was a custom order from Gibson (it has a small custom order tag in the case) - these Mastertone Earl Scruggs models are quite difficult to get hold of as Gibson has now ceased production of high end banjos of this type - spec includes highly figured maple back - hearts and flowers neck inlays - an Ebony fretboard and a deluxe hard case with Gibson logo to outer - this is a private treaty commission sale so we are happy to pass on reasonable offers - condition wise this is mint and virtually unplayed with no signs of fret or fingerboard wear - there is light tarnishing to the nickel parts which we have left as is - there is some very light wear to the upper inner of the case where the lining has come away - the instrument has recently been restrung and set up - it even comes with a Gibson Earl Scruggs promotional poster. This is an exceptional instrument that is investment grade and increasingly hard to find - warning! this banjo cased is a very heavy item and whilst we would prefer collection we are happy to ship worldwide and shipping costs are outlined as per Reverbs approved shipping costs
