Description Brand: Gibson Country/Region of Manufacture: United States Model: Gibson type Era: 1930 Number of Strings: 5 UPC: Does not apply
Prewar Gibson made Kel Kroydon Banjo resonator (1929-31). Original double binding with celluloid back. The back stencil has wear (easy to touch up). Inside resonator is untouched and in great shape. Side walls have been professionally refinished a nice maple brown color. It is finished well, you would just have to see it in person to appreciate how well. That being said, the resonator is still a good inexpensive candidate for a re-skin project, if you make a "best offer"! Neck notch has been enlarged to accommodate a 5 string neck. Last two pictures are for display of the resonator with a pot sitting on it (one piece flange and a 2 two piece flange). Rims and hardware in last two pictures not for sale in this auction. Both one piece and two piece flanges fit good and 3 Resonator brackets or 4 work well and look good (See pictures). Resonator is drilled for 3 lugs. For more pictures please see link at Only the resonator is for sale in this auction! Banjo pots (rims and hardware) in last two pictures on ebay are not for sale in this auction! Buyer pays actual shipping and I ship word wide. Email questions. Thank You Richard
