Gibson PB-800 Mastertone Banjo You are viewing a vintage 1981 Gibson PB-800 Mastertone Banjo This Banjo was the top of the line in the day. Plays and sounds great. I have had this instrument for several years, and replaced the original Tail piece with the Finger type, as the old one started to tear at the seam. The neck does have some checking on the Lacquer, but that does not seem to affect anything. It has a Farquhar 5/8 bridge. The Gold is incredible for 35 years, and only shows wear on the arm rest. As a reference, to re- plate a banjo in gold nowadays it is about $900.00, so to have an instrument already in this kind of shape is a real plus. It comes with a hard case may not be the original, but in very good shape. This banjo has no issues, and I have kept it in perfect playing shape. I play professionally and treat all my instruments with great care. I have done my best to supply good quality pictures, information and I have a perfect rating with Ebay. I do welcome any questions before you buy. This instrument is free shipping to anywhere in the Continental United States. It will be packaged well in its own hard shell case, with bubble wrap so it cant’s move then the case will be put in a Guitar Box with Flow-pak (foam peanuts) all around the case inside the box. It will also be fully insured with with, signature required. I will ship overseas, but will need to have payment in US funds, and charge back any fee in currency transfer. I will take the instrument down to a UPS Store for the shipping, and you will be dealing directly with the folks there for payment of the shipping costs. Please any questions, you can contact me. Thank you in advance
