This Gibson is formal enough you could wear it around your neck for a banquet–or at least the bowtie inlays across the fretboard. It’s the real deal, all-original and playing like a professional: a 1962 Gibson RB-250 Mastertone. Other than the addition of a few railroad spikes, this Banjo remains untouched, and only bears light evidence of play wear on its head and frets. In case you were wondering, yes–this Gibson is fearsomely loud! But the setup feels so lovely it’s easy to miss the fact that you’re playing with the volume at 11.
We really can’t say enough good things about this Mastertone, except to marvel at its condition and soak up all the vigorous, juicy tone of this RB-250.
A holy grail kind of banjo, this Gibson Mastertone looks gorgeous and plays just as sweetly. 
I can tell this has some great tone and it's easy to play as well. It's definitely worth a try if you are a serious Bluegrass banjo player. | Scale Length | 26.25 in |
