(108.3 cm.), 11 1\/8 in. (28.3 cm.) diameter head, and 3 1\/8 in. (7.9 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 32 in. (813 mm.). Width of nut is 1 1\/4 in. (32 mm.). This banjo remains relatively clean overall; there are a couple of older alterations-the tuning pegs have been changed (to Grover Rotomatics) and there are filled screw holes from a 5th string capo (very small on the side of the fingerboard) and a strap hook (a bit bigger on the top of the heel). The head and bridge are newer, the frets have been recently crowned and the banjo plays very well. A nice folk-era survivor, a good alternative to the more familiar Vega Pete Seeger Models and a more versatile instrument than many openback banjos. Excellent - Condition.","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853488279692,"sku":"6593","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_54853b7b-a115-4a04-a0c2-a15aa902ad19.jpg?v=1774340005","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/gibson-rb-175-long-neck-5-string-banjo-1964-6593","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
