Comes with “The Gibson” case. This banjo was purchased from a guitar collector who never learned to play it. He had it in the case since 1998 unplayed. All metal parts are stamped properly with Gibson USA and it has a Kulesh Tone ring. There is zero fret wear and no dings, blemishes or finish swirls. I believe the first time this banjo was played was when I set it up. It has a new head and Dotson bridge. Buyer pays shipping.
