Description

This 1930s Gibson RB-11 5-string banjo is a rare and visually striking example, featuring its original blue burst finish and pearloid fingerboard. With its maple rim and resonator, it delivers the bright, punchy tone prized by bluegrass players. The neck has been converted to 5-string, making it stage-ready while retaining its vintage charm. A unique piece with classic Gibson character and great playability. Check out the Specs tab for the full details. Includes a hardshell case

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
