Description

In the 1970’s Japanese manufacturers set out on a mission to perfectly duplicate some of the best American Made musical instruments that existed. They did a very good job. There was actually a lawsuit that stopped these copies but many instruments were made prior to this lawsuit. This banjo would be an example of a lawsuit era Japanese instrument.

This is a blonde maple banjo with chrome hardware. The neck is also blonde maple with a rosewood fretboard. The fretboard has a Wreath inlay pattern which looks fantastic. The neck and resonator have binding on each side that resembles the type of binding used on Gibson RB800 banjos. The headstock has wreath inlay along with the Ibanez logo. This has an armrest that also resembles the armrests used on 1970’s Gibson RB250 Banjos. The tailpiece is a clamshell with the Ibanez logo that also resembles 1970’s Gibson tailpieces.

This also has a full size 20 hole tone ring which is a big deal. This banjo has a lot of volume, tone and projection.

This is all original and absolutely beautiful. The fact this is maple would have put this at the top of the line. This is not only a very well made and beautiful instrument this is possibly the best Ibanez banjo that could be bought. This is all original and includes an original hang tag and also a new Superior Hardshell Case.

Condition

This is gorgeous. The wood and finish look fantastic. It’s almost like this has never been played. The hardware truly glows. This is a shiny banjo. The fretboard looks fantastic and the frets look almost untouched. This is a beautiful work of art. The Superior case and hang tag are also in fantastic shape.

Set Up

This has a new Huber frosted head that is set to 90 on a drum dial. This also has new Huber Truetone .10 gauge strings. The bridge is a new Huber bridge with a rosewood cap. This banjo is set up with comfortable action that still produces a lot of sound and also correct intonation. This is a gorgeous, rare, historic and all original instrument that is set up to produce a truly professional tone. I would personally recommend this banjo over a Gibson RB250 of the same era.
