2002 Gibson RB - 250

---

Gibson RB-250 (FON 250-02-15) – Introduced in the 1950s, the RB-250 has long been Gibson’s “workhorse” Mastertone model, prized for its reliability and classic bluegrass sound. This example features a speed neck, three-ply maple rim, bound mahogany resonator, bound mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, one-piece flange with flathead tone ring, and nickel-plated hardware. Recently given a fresh setup with a Cockrum roasted maple bridge, it plays effortlessly and delivers the strong, balanced tone these banjos are known for.
