The Davis Butch Robins Signature Model is a premium professional instrument designed by Tim Davis as a meticulous replica of Butch Robins' iconic 1930 Gibson RB 4 9583-1 Capo spikes at 7th and 9th frets. Comes with the original case. Have any questions, please ask. Thanks for looking!
As Tim Davis announced a few years ago:
"So, so excited to be working with Butch Robins to recreate his famous RB4. We feel like this replica will be the closest banjo anyone's ever been able to create in modern banjo building.
We're taking exact measurements of 9538-1and are now in the process of having a CAD drawing made to replicate the neck to perfection.
Butch has graciously allowed us to disassemble the banjo and measure the tone ring, to not only get the weight and the measurements, but also the perfect formula to recreate the tone of this famous banjo.
To cap everything off, we're going to torrefy the neck and the 3-ply maple rim and use hot hide glue in its construction and chrome plate everything.
