OHSC included. Vintage 1963 Gibson RB-250 Bowtie Mastertone Banjo in Natural finish, this iconic instrument is a true representation of Gibson’s golden era craftsmanship. Featuring the classic Bowtie inlays on a bound rosewood fingerboard, a mahogany resonator, and a multi-ply rim with a full 24-bracket flange, it offers the bright, punchy tone prized by bluegrass musicians. The one-piece flange and Mastertone tone ring deliver exceptional projection and classic banjo clarity. This example is in Good condition with expected wear for its age, including some finish checking and playwear, but remains structurally sound and fully playable. The original tuners, armrest, and tailpiece lend authenticity to its vintage charm. With its warm resonance and smooth action, this RB-250 is perfect for players and collectors alike looking to capture that unmistakable 60s Gibson sound. A rare opportunity to own a piece of banjo history that continues to sing beautifully after six decades.
