1928 Gibson TB-3 Tenor Banjo Pre-War with the highly desirable 5-String Florentine neck conversion from one of the world's most respected Bluegrass artists and master luthiers, Adrian Farmer. Serial number is "9024-31 PAT.APPLD.FOR." Made in Gibson's original Kalamazoo, Michigan factory. Incredibly, the instrument comes with its original Lifton case.

If you want a historical, investment-grade intsrument that will distinguish yourself from all other players, this is the one for you. Very few of these were built and have survived the trials and tribulations of the past century.
This is a world-class instrument from Gibson with a century
