1929 Gibson Style 1

Price: $5,500.00 USD

FON 9486-26. This 1929 prewar Gibson began its life as a TB-1 (tenor banjo) and was later professionally converted with a correct-style 5-string neck, transforming it into a true bluegrass machine.
It retains all of its original components, making it an outstanding option for anyone seeking an authentic prewar Gibson without a tone ring. The original 1/4" brass hoop and nearly 100-year-old rim deliver a warm, punchy response that proves just how powerful an uncut hoop banjo can be.
Recently set up with a Turtle Hill Remo head, this banjo is playing and sounding excellent. Weighing just over 7 pounds, it’s lightweight, responsive, and comfortable for long sessions without sacrificing tone.
If you’re searching for an all-original, lightweight prewar Gibson that truly has “the sound,” this is one worth serious consideration.
