For Sale: 1930s Gibson TB-11 - Bill Sullivan Conversion
Here is a gorgeous un-cut TB-11 with the original brass rod pot and a birdseye maple flying eagle neck by the late great Bill Sullivan. Bill matched the neck to the the sides of the resonator and the rim. Pre EPA Remo and Five Star tuners (Gotoh 5th) with prewar grained ivoroid buttons. Check out the video to hear the absolutely awesome tone with this superlight banjo. Set up perfectly, I cannot imagine anyone being disappointed in this one - tone and playability (and weight) are just a delight.
The only non original parts on the pot are the head, the Presto and the armrest.
Comes in a 1980s hardshell case in excellent condition with the original tenor neck which was drilled for a 5th string and is missing the overlay.
