1925 Gibson MB-4

FON 11832-10. The Trap-door banjos built by Gibson in the early 1920's are some of the most attractive instruments the company every made. At the high end of the model line up was the Style 4, which featured a gorgeous Cremona sunburst finish, expertly bound "Moccasin" style headstock with pearl logo and Fleur-de-Lys inlay, bound ebony fingerboard, resonator, rim, and heel, three-piece curly maple neck, and pearl nut. The MB-4 is Mandolin version of the style, with 13-7/8" scale, 1-3/16" nut, and 10-1/2" head. The MB-4 pictured here is a local one-family instrument, and in very fine condition. It is missing its tailpiece cover, and five brackets are replacements, but it is otherwise original, intact, and in good working order with a fresh set up.
