    Default Gibson Mandolin-Banjo

    Coming to my house Wednesday. I just can't wait to see what I can do with this thing. 1920s Gibson MB-Jr.

    Didn't even know there was an MB jr. Looks cool. Hope you enjoy it. Love the snake head.

    My wife's Uncle worked at "the factory" and made one of those for his wife originally very fancy (custom inlayed FB). Alas, it went back for some "restoration" in the early 70's and the FB was replaced (before my wife and I met). I will try to shoot a couple of pics and post them, if I can figure out how.

    Mine arrived yesterday afternoon and it sounds tremendous on fiddle tunes. I will try to post up some video this afternoon. It is solid all the way around, which is great considering its age.
