Pairing the strings and setup of a Mandolin with the form and construction of a banjo, this little hybrid can certainly turn a few heads with it's unique tone and timbre. The trap door on the back of the rim can literally open up the sound, and adds a little brightness and sustain especially directed at the player. Both the action and play-ability feel good, and there is only minimal fret wear with no buzzing. The factory order number (FON) on the inside is 11181A-45 which puts its creation date around 1923-1924 with a 9-1\/2\" banjo head. The Gibson script on the headstock is hand written. This instrument comes with its original hardshell case. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":19814186117,"sku":"GBANJOLINTRAP","price":900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0202\/0250\/products\/mb-mandolin-banjo-banjolin-11181A-45-front-close.jpg?v=1471898169","url":"https:\/\/massstreetmusic.mom\/products\/gibson-mb-mandolin-banjo-banjolin-w-trap-door-used","provider":"Mass Street Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
