1940 Wards by Gibson Tenor Banjo, Very Good for sale in Parkersburg, WV
1940 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. S/N FW-796 I will accept returns if item is not as described in the listing, otherwise this is a AS-IS auction I recently purchased over 30 Vintage stringed instruments at Auction, I am planning to list more Gibson and other brands, I have Banjos, Mandolins, Violins and my Favorite " The Ukulele" Stay tuned and thanks for looking.
