Well folks,  the TB-1 conversion has been sold... it was a great one, but here to replace it are 3 new nice additions. One is a vintage Goldstar JD Crowe Model. It is in great shape except for some minor pitting on the armrest. The serial # on this one is 84303 dating it to 1984. I have been told that there are probably less than 100 of these in existance. This is one monster banjo and is a real bargain.
Next is the original 5 string top tension pre war we have been working on for a while.  Boy what a sound this one has.. see more about this one on the inventory page!
The other is a fresh style 5 conversion that was previouslyl a style 3. Read more about these banjos on the 'specialty conversions'  and inventory pages!

Welcome Vintage Banjos web site!

Since we have been buying, selling, and trading vintage banjos for years, we thought it was about time to build our own site. Here you can view our present listings, check out out 'sold banjos' and contact us with any questions, or comments you might have. You can also contact us if you are searching for something special. If we don't have it, we can probably find it for you. We specialize in vintage Gibson banjos, but also dabble in used banjos of all types including 'parts banjos'.

Our home page will highlight newest additions to our site as they become available. We'll think of the home page as a kind of portal, giving you the chance to see the the latest listings without having to scroll through the entire inventory.
We might feature a  link to our products page where you can find more information on the product.
 
Also, make sure and check out our 'in the works' page. We are always receiving old banjos that people have 'monkeyed' with. Most of the time, these banjos need a little 'love' . We take the time to do proper restorations on old banjos, and occasionally do conversions as well.
 
We also offer a specialty conversion of your old 1920's style 3 banjo into a style 5, granada, or style 6 using all of your original pre war parts. . Make sure and check this page out for pictures of past endeavors, as well as current odysies into banjo adventure! We are also capable of taking your pre war two piece flange banjo and converting it to a one piece flange. These work out particularly well. Especially if you have access to a pre war one piece flange. We occasionally have them available, so if you are in search of one, please ask. We generally save these for pre war conversions.
 
Also, make sure to check out our 'parts' page as we usually have some really cool pieces available.

Here is a picture of our latest addition
