Description

The 1970 Gibson Florentine Banjo is a highly ornate and rare Mastertone-style banjo, known for its intricate inlays and elaborate engravings. Featuring a maple resonator with lavish gold plating, a carved heel, and a fingerboard adorned with detailed pearloid inlays, the Florentine is a showpiece of Gibson’s craftsmanship. Designed for bluegrass and traditional banjo styles, it offers bright, crisp tones with excellent projection. As one of Gibson’s most visually striking and collectible banjos, the 1970 Florentine remains a sought-after instrument among collectors and musicians alike. Includes the original hardshell case.
