This was the lowest grade Gibson banjo to have the full professional features: the ball-bearing tone ring, \"trapdoor\" resonator and the double coordinator rods. With a very short 19\" scale length this is a handy little player, suitable for ragtime or Irish styles and a neat double for the mandolinist-just as Gibson intended.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 29 in. (73.7 cm.), 10 5\/8 in. (27 cm.) diameter head, and 2 7\/8 in. (7.3 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 19 in. (483 mm.). Width of nut is 1 1\/8 in. (29 mm.). A nice example with some average wear; most notably the finish is down to the wood on the lower third of the back of the neck. Unaltered with all original hardware except a plastic head and recent bridge, includes the original HSC. Excellent - Condition.","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46852992663692,"sku":"6582","price":900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_97f744e7-6d83-49e8-a2e5-7b4252b76814.jpg?v=1774329761","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/gibson-tb-3-tenor-banjo-1924-6582","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
