This is an all-original 2007 Gibson RB-4 5-string banjo, made from high-grade walnut and in excellent condition. Gibson RB-4 models are among the rarest post-war Gibson banjos—and they’re getting harder to find every year. This banjo is not just collectible—it’s a powerhouse instrument with incredible tone, depth, and clarity.
We completely disassembled and polished this banjo using our low-speed buffing system, making the hardware shine like new. The frets and fingerboard are also in top condition, offering a smooth and comfortable playing experience.
The walnut resonator features colorful concentric inlay rings and delivers a rich, warm sound with impressive sustain and tonal complexity. Whether you’re performing on stage or recording in the studio, this Gibson RB-4 stands out for its exceptional craftsmanship and tone.
We haven’t had a chance to take a video of this one yet but here’s a video of an RB-4 from the same era that we sold a few years ago so you can get a sense of the sound.
