Quick Facts

Serial Number: 20-23

Condition: Excellent

This ca. 1935 Gibson TB-2 Tenor banjo has a 5-string neck made by Bob White. Mr. White inlaid decorative wood, similar to that of a Gibson Deluxe, on the back of the peg head. A previous owner had a new burl walnut resonator installed. However, the original walnut resonator is in my possession along with the tenor neck and all original parts. They are in excellent condition. This banjo has its original tone ring. This is a stunning banjo that is appropriate for both bluegrass and old time picking.
