Used Gibson MASTERTONE RB-250 70s Vintage Banjo REPAIRED w/OHSC

This is a Gibson Mastertone RB-250 banjo from the 1970s, complete with its original Gibson hard shell case. This classic American-made five-string banjo features the iconic Mastertone construction that helped define bluegrass music for generations. It sports the distinctive Gibson peghead inlay, Mastertone fingerboard block, multi-ply resonator, and traditional hardware that players and collectors seek out. There has been a repair made on a crack around the 5th string tuning machine. The banjo is in very good vintage condition with normal cosmetic wear for its age, including a few finish blemishes and small marks as shown in the photos, but remains an exceptionally clean example of a sought-after 1970s Gibson Mastertone.

The RB-250 delivers the crisp attack, powerful projection, and rich sustain that have made Gibson banjos a staple of bluegrass, country, folk, and Americana music. Whether you're playing hard-driving Scruggs-style rolls, backing a singer-songwriter, or taking center stage at a jam session, this banjo offers the unmistakable Mastertone sound with plenty of volume and character. The included original hard case provides excellent protection and adds to the instrument's vintage appeal and collectability.
