Gibson Banjos
We stock a wide range of Gibson banjos, including pre-war, vintage, and relatively recent styles through the very last of the Gibson banjos produced in 2010.
As the quality standard, Gibson banjos were played by nearly all the top players, including Earl Scruggs, J D Crowe, Ralph Stanley, Sonny Osborne, Bill Emerson, and many others. More recent top banjoists who play Gibson banjos include Bela Fleck, Noan Pikelney, Jim Mills, Bill Evans, and Kristin Scott Benson.
Give us a call if you have any questions. We love to talk about banjos. Keep in mind that we nearly always have several Gibson banjos in stock that haven’t yet made it to our website listings.
