I’ve got an old Gibson RB250 also! Been wanting to take it to Frank Neat for a setup.
Frank set up my "old" RB250.......there is a gentleman down near Glasgow that does the best job in the world on set up......the neck on my Mastertone wasn't fit properly at the factory..........his name is Arther Hatfield.....he has a page.......Hatfield Banjos....he messed with mine for three hours or so............He charged me a whopping $50 including a new set of strings.........he had it sounding sweet for sure.......if my finger heals up.......I need to take my banjo back and get it tightened up.....otherwise it will sit in it's case......

Thanks! I’ll check Hatfield out, I’m not much of a banjo player, lol. I play guitar and mandolin, but I have it and it definitely takes someone that knows what they are doing to set it up.
