Is 2001 Gibson Earl Scruggs remains in fantastic condition. The Earl Scruggs model was first introduced at Gibson in 1984 and was revamped in 1989. Since that time this model has been one of the greatest selling banjos from Gibson until production ceased in 2010.

This banjo is all original including its “Gibson USA” Kulesh tone ring. 5th string spikes are installed and it is ready to go.
