There has been some discussion on the hardware used on this banjo. The RB-250 did not come factory in gold but that said, in 1962 Gibson would fill virtually any custom request. The hardware shows none of the pitting typical of re-plated hardware. Also the cost to upgrade after the banjo was built would have been huge so we are going on the theory that this was a custom order. Tailpiece: I found several of these gold-plated tailpieces in the boxes of 1960s Gibson hardware I acquired when Gibson Canada shut down in 1979. So I am assuming they were stock Gibson issue for at least a few of their gold plated banjos, though I’ve never seen any. I gather they were made by Elton but am happy for input from anybody out there who knows more.

With a tone designed to be more mellow and jazzier than the Strat the Jazzmaster wasn’t really embraced by jazz players. It is more commonly associated with surf rock bands like The Ventures and The Fireballs and later experimental rock bands such as Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine. This particular example has been stripped of its finish and has newer tuners but is in great overall shape and has a really cool vibe. Comes with original brown hardshell case.

The new Performing Artist line from Martin Guitars has made a real splash into their already comprehensive line up of guitars. These instruments feature all the quality and good looks you come to expect from Martin with a few new twists aimed at the gigging musician. The Performing Artist neck profile has a little less mass and a flatter shape than Martins standard low profile neck. This super smooth feel will appeal to fans of smaller neck profiles and help ease hand fatigue for those long sets. The neck joins the body at the 14th fret and the venetian style cutaway provides excellent access to the upper frets. The on board Fishman F1 Aura pickup system has everything a performer could want including a built in tuner all in a two button and small screen package which helps retain the sleek aesthetic appeal of these guitars. This example is in excellent shape and comes with the original hardshell case.
