{"product_id":"gibson-rb-100-5-string-resonator-banjo-1962-5367","title":"Gibson RB-100 5 String Resonator Banjo (1962)","description":"Gibson RB-100 Model 5 String Resonator Banjo (1962), made in Kalamazoo, Michigan, serial # 93488, dark mahogany with sunburst resonator finish, maple rim and resonator, mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, original black hard shell case. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe RB-100 was Gibson's 1960's sub-Mastertone style banjo; it is similar in appearance with the full one-piece flange-resonator setup of the fancier models but has plain cosmetics and a simpler brass tone ring. The sound is not as powerful as the full Mastertone-tone ring models but still quite vibrant and with considerable volume. An excellent and versatile workhorse of a vintage Gibson.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 37 3\/4 in. (95.9 cm.), 11 in. (27.9 cm.) diameter head, and 3 1\/2 in. (8.9 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 26 1\/4 in. (667 mm.). Width of nut is 1 3\/16 in. (30 mm.). Well played, with some typical period additions. The headstock is fitted with adjustable cams for rapid tuning changes; there is a sliding 5th string capo mounted to the neck and strap buttons have been mounted on the resonator walls. There is a some fairly heavy plating wear to the flange and hoop but the neck and resonator finish is fairly well preserved, with some general wear. A cool gigging 1960's period Gibson banjo, not a full Mastertone but with a good solid folk\/stringband sound. Overall Very Good + Condition.","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46852985487500,"sku":"5367","price":2250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_d2438064-8927-4ac3-8498-06fc80f538d8.jpg?v=1774329441","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/gibson-rb-100-5-string-resonator-banjo-1962-5367","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
