Description

This 1960s Gibson RB-250 Mastertone has that perfect mix of road miles and shop time—well played, well loved, and still going strong. It shows some great-looking wear and age throughout, the kind you only get from years of honest picking. The only major repair is a heel crack that was reinforced with two dowels and finished over—solid, stable, and holding up without complaint. A few parts have been swapped over the years, but nothing that gets in the way of the sound or feel. It plays and sounds fantastic, with that crisp Mastertone snap and low-end growl that make you want to dig in. A banjo with character, a past, and plenty of punch. Comes with the OHSC.

*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.
