Description

This is a mahogany RB75 with copper flashed hardware. This has a 3 ply hard rock maple shell. The neck is also mahogany with a rosewood fretboard. There is a V shape to the back of the neck which was featured for only a short time on the Blackjack. A lot of players love this feature and it definitely feels great to play!! This is all original. The copper flashing on the hardware with the mahogany gives this a nice and crisp attack that I know of no other banjo to compare. This is a true peel the paint off the walls banjo that is not an easy piece to find.

Condition

This definitely has seen some play wear but this is still in good shape cosmetically and superb condition functionally. The resonator itself is in really good shape. The copper on the tension hoop, tone ring, armrest, tailpiece and lugs is all in really good shape as well. The copper on the flange has worn off for the most part. There is still so much copper on the other metal parts that the sound has not been effected. The back of the neck has been sanded down to a speed neck which really helps playing speed. The fretboard and frets are both in good shape. The banjo overall is in good shape but this has definitely been played. The hardshell case is clean.

Set Up

This has been set up here at the shop. This has nice string height (action) with correct intonation. This has a clean Remo Frosted head. The head has been set to 90 on a drum dial all the way around the head. This has an unknown bridge with new Huber Truetone .10 gauge strings. This is a good looking, great sounding and great playing banjo with a professional set up.

The shell is a 3 ply hard rock maple shell. The hardware is nickel with copper flashing. The neck and resonator are mahogany and this has a rosewood fretboard. The fretboard has special inlay that is only found on this banjo.

The original neck for this broke and someone found another original Gibson JD Crowe Blackjack neck. The neck that is on this banjo did not leave the factory on this banjo but I want to emphasize it is an original Gibson Blackjack neck. This also has a couple new thumbscrews, one gold and one nickel. This has the original engraved Crowe Tone Ring and this also has the original Gibson Case. The case has the original paperwork which is a nice plus.

These do not come up for sale often because people usually don't want to sell them. This is a fantastic banjo that is going to make someone extremely happy!!

Condition

This banjo is in really good shape which is a big deal. The copper is notorious for wearing off and this has a really nice and thick coat of copper. The wood also looks great and is really clean. This has a clean neck and fretboard and even the frets look great. This has no spikes or 5th string capo which probably explains why the frets are so clean. This is a gorgeous instrument with a clean original case.

Set Up

We professionally set up every Banjo that comes through our shop. This has a new Remo frosted head which is set to 90 on a drum dial. The bridge is a Sullivan bridge which is a high quality bridge. The banjo is set with correct intonation. The strings are new Huber Truetone .10 gauge strings and the action is set well. This has loads of volume and pop and also is a great player.
