Hello! I have in my possession a Gibson 5 string banjo that I have been playing for the past 6 months or so. It is a great instrument, my first stringed anything, and I'm really enjoying playing it. However, I know little to nothing about it! I'd really like to know more.
What I do know is mostly anecdotal. I received it from a friend, it belonged to his late grandfather. It is to some extent 'custom' (his words). At one point, he was offered $6k for it, which he supposedly 'laughed at.' Other than that I know nothing more.
Here are photos of it. The serial number is 907-4, which I was unable to find a match for. There are two tone rods, and the thing weighs a ton (from the thick rim, I presume).
Does anyone know anything about this banjo? It is a mystery to me, but I greatly enjoy playing it. Knowing some more about it would just be nice.
