The pot on this extremely rare banjo was, in all probability, built in 1927, and the neck a decade later. There is no carving on the neck, and the peghead inlay is completely different than on the standard Bella Voce. It is absolutely original, with tube and plate flange and a 40-hole archtop tone ring. We had Richie Dotson build a 5-string neck that matches the original perfectly. It is a really neat instrument and you'll probably never see another like it! Click here for pictures
This neat instrument started life as a mandolin banjo. It has a standard Mastertone pot with 40-archtop tone ring, and is in very nice condition. The neck was made by Richie Dotson,
One piece flange. Very nice condition and 100% original. The flange is solid and not badly warped. It has a new Florentine Special inlay neck built by Wyatt Fawley. Call for details if interested. Click here for pictures
THE RAREST STYLE 11 GIBSON BANJO. This is a melody banjo, made in the late 1930s. In appearance, it looks like a mandolin banjo but with a 15-fret four string neck. It is 100% original and in virtually mint condition. I've never seen another one, and many years ago Curtis McPeake told me that as far as he knew it is the only one Gibson made. The price is $7500; a lot more than a TB-11, but this banjo is worth every penny of the price!
This 1928 Gibson TB-2 Banjo has all original parts and is a great sounding bluegrass banjo with no tone ring - 11" standard pot size, of course. Freshly setup with a new head, and a Huber Bridge, this banjo has that desired bluegrass tone without breaking the back, or the bank! The neck maker of this banjo is unknown, but has a very comfortable neck shape profile.
