Gibson RB-175 long-neck 5-string banjo, made in Kalamazoo, Michigan, between 1970 and 1972. This is one of the final long-neck models Gibson produced during the folk era revival, featuring the extended 25-fret neck design popularized by Pete Seeger. It includes the original hard shell case.

Description:

• Model: Gibson RB-175 Long-Neck Banjo
• Serial Number: 674800
• Stamped: MADE IN U.S.A. (on back of peghead)
• Year: 1970–1972 (based on serial number range)
• Origin: Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA
• Scale Length: 32” (25-fret long neck)
• Pot: Multi-ply maple rim with dual coordinator rods
• Hardware: Nickel/chrome plated
• Head: Clear plastic replacement head
• Fingerboard: Rosewood with dot inlays
• Inlay: Gibson logo and pearloid headstock inlay
• Case: Original hard shell case with red velvet interior
• Condition: Very good vintage condition — minor tarnish, light playwear, and updated clear head.

Notes:
This instrument is a late-production Gibson RB-175, built when the company still operated from its Kalamazoo, Michigan factory. It retains all of its distinctive 1970s features, including the dual coordinator rods and the ‘Made in U.S.A.’ headstock stamp. The neck is straight with good action, and the tone is rich and resonant.
