Copy of a nice RB-12. All walnut constructed resonator and neck. Perforated Gary Wood archtop tone ring made from a casting of an original RB-12. Parts are a mix of old and new. The rim is a 1950's RB-250 rim. This is a top tension flathead bluegrass banjo. Straight neck, no fret wear, and new top frosted head. Finish is a porous lacquer and the neck, inlays, and resonator were made by Bob Cathey of WI. Heavy banjo with solid projection like old Gibson would and should!
