I have had a hard time dating it but from the head stamp and serial number it looks to be a 1972. Only thing is that it isn't set up right so it doesn't sound like it should. Also there is a crack on the fret board near the pot that wasn't disclosed.

RB250 is also know as a Gibsons work horse banjo... great playing, and sounding banjos without fancy nonsense... they sound and play just as good as any of most expensive banjos, but for much less money... I would recommend this instrument to anyone, for any jobs, from back porch Saturday night pickin' to recording sessions on Nashvilles music row....

My first mastertone was a 1968 RB 250 and this 1980 RB is just as enjoyable and dynamic!! You offered it at a great price and I thank you. I am having a ball playing once again...

This was my first purchase on ebay. I'm happy with the purchase (Used Gibson RB-250 Banjo). It plays well and sounds great. The product is pretty much exactly as it was notated on ebay.
