One of the last Gibson Mastertone Earl Scruggs Standard model banjos by Gibson before they stopped building them. This is a mint 2008 Gibson ESS banjo with the original Gibson hard case. Serial number 5027 from May of 2008. It’s been in the case for the last several years untouched. The case looks brand new and the combination lock has never been used. Has the original warranty paperwork that’s never been filled out. Beautiful curly maple wood that shows no signs of cracking or buckle rash. Has all the Gibson markings on the metal, including the original presto style tailpiece. I was surprised to see that this one is equipped with a Kulesh tone ring instead of the Mystery ring that Gibson mostly used during this time period.
Frets are clean and shows very little signs of wear. 5th string spikes are installed at the 7th and 9th frets. This is one of the cleanest,
Nicest banjos I’ve seen to be almost 17 years old.
An absolute jewel! $4,699.00
