Gold Tone Bela Fleck "Bluegrass Heart"

Gold Tone Bela Fleck "Bluegrass Heart"

Billy Failing is tearing it up with the diverse music of Billy Strings. In addition to his enormous talent, one of Billy’s secret weapons is his versatile Vintage Eclipse banjo.


The iconic “Flying Eagle” inlay combines with Nechville’s beautifully durable and versatile black Eclipse Heli-Mount frame for a classic 30’s look with a modern twist.

Gibson Style 11 Melody Banjo

1929 Gibson MB-3 Conversion Banjo

Gold Tone Bowtie Mastertone - OB-2

 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!
