This 1939 Gibson RB-75 original flathead 5-string is well known in the Gibson Prewar community. This RB-75 is all original with the previous owner's name "G.W. Ragan" on the truss rod cover. The F.O.N. EG-4122 is on the back of the neck and in the resonator with F.O.N. 518-2 (Reno's "Nellie" is -1) in the rim. This is not uncommon in the late 30's for another FON to be present in the rim. The original tuners with catalin buttons are present with the original case. This is a no-excuses original 5-string flathead 75....exceedingly rare. CONTACT FOR PRICING.
