    Description

    1930s Wards by Gibson Tenor Banjo, Very Good, Original Hard Case.
    A simple tenor banjo made by Gibson for the famed discount mail order and department store; Montgomery Wards.
    This banjo has a mahogany neck with a 22-3/4" scale dyed maple fretboard. The 11" diameter 2 ply maple rim is 5/8" thick and has 16 brackets.
    There was once a resonator, but is long gone. This one sounds great as a tenor and has great potential for a 5-string openback conversion.
    In better than good condition with a well worn soft (stiff cardboard) case.
