Gibson RB Deluxe Excellent- conditionThere are a few very minor dings at point of the neck heel, which were most likely caused by a strap. No repairs done, nor needed. It does have a 'speed neck' feel, which is super smooth and a joy to play.Originally equipped with a rolled brass tone hoop from the factory, this banjo was sent to Robin Smith at Heartland Banjo Co. He installed one of his great 'no-hole' plated tone rings, added a second coordinator rod, and re-cut the neck heel for proper fit to the pot assembly. He also installed 5th string capo spikes at 7-10 and 12, replaced the bone nut, and did a complete and thorough set-up. I have the receipt for all of this work. ($750)This banjo has the natural maple finish (blonde). It has an ebony fretboard with snowflake inlay pattern, black binding, 3-ply maple rim, one-piece 'Gibson USA' flange, 'Gibson' stamped Presto-style tailpiece, 5-Star tuners, and all nickel plated hardware. It's currently set-up with a Huber bridge and Remo Renaissance head.
