1991 Gibson RB4 Greg Rich Era 5 string Banjo

Description

This is a 1991 RB4 that has an ebony fretboard instead of rosewood.  The neck is definitely original and the way I can tell is the binding is yellowed like the resonator binding.  I’m not sure if the fretboard was done at the factory but the workmanship is identical to Gibson quality.  Either the fretboard was put on at the factory or a professional luthier added the fretboard, in either case the neck is original and this is a beautiful job.  Plus the fact the fretboard is ebony gives this banjo a bit more pop and a quality like no other RB4 I’ve heard.

This has a 3 ply hard rock maple shell.  The neck and resonator are walnut and the hardware is nickel.  There is w/b/w binding on each side of the neck and resonator which has yellowed and looks great.  The hardware on the pot is all original and this has a one piece armrest and a Presto tailpiece.  The flange is a Gibson USA flange and the tone ring is a Kulesh tone ring stamped Gibson USA.  The fretboard is ebony and has a Hearts and Flowers inlay pattern.  On top of all of this this has upgraded Keith D tuners.  Finally this has a hardshell case which was made by the same company that made the original Gibson cases.

This banjo is beautiful and definitely unique.  The fact it is a Rich era already makes this special but the ebony fretboard takes this over the top.  This is definitely a cool and very unique banjo.

Condition

This banjo also looks incredible.  We take every banjo apart when it gets to the shop and do a professional cleaning.  The hardware has all been buffed, the wood has been waxed, the fretboard has been oiled and this looks wonderful.  The hardware shines and the finish also has a nice glow.  The neck and fretboard are in great shape with a couple of spots on the fretboard nicked at the first few frets.  Overall the fretboard looks incredible. The frets are also in fantastic shape and there are spikes at frets 7-10.  This banjo looks incredible and the case is also clean.

Set Up

This has been professionally cleaned and set up at the Banjo Warehouse.  This has a new Huber frosted head which is set to 90 on a drum dial.  The bridge is a Snuffy Smith bridge and this has correct intonation.  The strings are new Huber Truetone .10 gauge strings and the action is set nicely.  The banjo is also fully adjustable.  This is a special, unique banjo that looks great and is set up to sound and play at it’s best.
