Description

1932 Gibson TB1 conversion banjo with a Robin Smith neck and a Huber HR30 tone ring. This has a maple resonator and neck with a 3 ply hard rock maple shell. The fretboard is ebony with Seagulls inlaid. The headstock is also inlaid and there is white binding on each side of the neck and resonator. The hardware is nickel. The hardware is also all original as is the finish. The flange is almost perfectly flat. This is one of the nicest if not the nicest Pre War Gibson TB1 I’ve seen.

The HR30 tone ring is arguably the best tone ring for a Pre War conversion banjo. Robin Smith is also one of the finest neck builders alive. This is not only a fantastic example of a clean Pre War banjo but the conversion is also done with the finest parts. This is the Pre War conversion banjo to buy and I rarely say that.

Condition

This is truly in beautiful shape. The original finish is gorgeous and the hardware also looks incredible. I included some pictures of the side of the flange and you can see how flat this flange is. It is almost perfectly flat. The neck is clean and the fretboard is as well. There is some light wear on the first few frets but it is minor. The rest of the frets are clean and basically untouched. There are frets at the 7th-9th frets. The case has some wear on the outside but the inside is clean. In addition the case is in perfect structural condition.

Set Up

This has been professionally set up here in the shop. The banjo has nice string height which is not difficult to play while being high enough to get better tone and volume. This has a Remo Frosted head which is clean. The bridge is a no name bridge with an ebony cap. There are new Huber Truetone .10 gauge strings. The head is set to 90 on a drum dial all the way around the head. Finally this has correct intonation. This is a fantastic and clean example of a banjo which is already extraordinary. This sounds great, plays great, looks great and will make any banjo player happy.
