Since the roaring twenties, Epiphone has crafted exceptional banjos, and their Inspired by Gibson Mastertone Classic Banjo brings the legendary sound of the 1930s Gibson RB-3 Mastertone within reach of today's musicians. This remarkable instrument faithfully recreates one of the most coveted 5-string banjos in musical history, offering authentic vintage character at a price that won't break the bank.
Built with meticulous attention to detail, the Mastertone Classic features a mahogany resonator paired with a robust 3-ply mahogany rim construction. The nickel hardware provides both durability and that classic vintage aesthetic that made the original Gibson models so desirable amongst bluegrass and folk musicians of the era.
The 26.4" scale mahogany neck showcases beautiful figured wood grain and sports a smooth-playing laurel fretboard fitted with 22 medium/tall frets. Elegant Style 3 mother-of-pearl position markers guide your way up the neck, whilst the distinctive Mastertone Block inlay at the fretboard's end adds that authentic finishing touch. A protective hard-shell case comes included, ensuring your investment stays safe during transport and storage.
