Vintage open-back 5-string banjo - $450 (Rockville)

Rare vintage 5-string open-back Gretsch “Rex Professional” banjo.
Just had a complete luthier setup and it plays and sounds great! Perfect for old-time banjo styles (frailing/clawhammer) or Americana music.
A previous owner had replaced the old friction pegs with newer geared tuners (including a geared 5th peg) for easier tuning.
