1928 Gibson RB-5
This is a 40 hole archtop with the two-piece tube & plate flange and a beautiful and accurate neck that we think was done by Bob Givens. Tonally it is unusual for an archtop in that it has a much sweeter tone with real sustain. Tim Weed has pronounced it an amazing sounding banjo, and he, like many, generally doesn't like archtop Mastertones.
Our "Cash price" policy: unfortunately, the credit card companies support "swiped" charges in which the card is physically run through the card reader. Phone-in charges are charged at a much higher rate (to the seller) which can take quite a big chunk out of a high-dollar sale. Thus, for those call-in sales, let's discuss the issue at the time; hopefully, we can figure some way to deal with it.
