1978 Gibson TB250 19 fret Tenor Banjo with Gibson Lifetime Warranty SN 70888054. Gibson banjos don’t need no introduction they were at the centre of the banjo universe for decades. Unfortunately for now and for a variety of reasons (including the devastating 2010 Nashville flood), Gibson has stopped producing banjos with no announced plans to restart. This banjo packs quite a punch with great power and resonance and low action. This instrument is in original, excellent shape, especially considering its age. The finish is in great shape with no serious wear and the hardware is all very clean as is the fretboard. Includes original hardshell case with Gibson logo on the outside and red fur lining in the inside.
