This Prewar Gibson Style 3 F.O.N. 9489-25 left the factory around 1929 as a tenor with a 40-hole arch top ring. In 1983 this banjo was fitted with a Prewar high-profile full weight tone ring and has a Genuine RB-3 mahogany neck from 1988. The hardware is original and period correct and with an E2 tension hoop which is not unheard of. This one is extremely responsive with a lot of power and classic flathead tone. This banjo is housed in an original 5-String "Red Line" case with a new interior. If you have any questions or desire additional pictures, don't hesitate to ask. Thanks for looking. Here's video: youtu.be/N7I1OOtbiI0?si=vgYUOK5tfzhYZ_8B
