First time Gibson banjo purchase

Thursday, March 4, 2021

Hi Gang,  I'm looking to buy myself a Gibson 5-string banjo, a good player banjo. I've gone as far as I can with the cheapie one I've been learning on. 

How much should I be saving and what's people's preferences? Pre-war 1925-47 or newer conversions? I really want a Gibson banjo, I'm not gonna be a collector because one will suffice. I'm 60+ and it'll be the only banjo I'll ever need.
