This Epiphone EB-44 five-string long-neck resonator banjo from the 1960s is a rare U.S.-made instrument, built by Gibson during their ownership of the Epiphone brand. Produced in Kalamazoo, Michigan, the EB-44 was Gibson’s interpretation of the classic folk-era long-neck banjo design made popular by Pete Seeger, offering rich projection, articulate tone, and warm vintage character.

Featuring a mahogany resonator, maple rim, and a three-ply neck with an extended scale, this banjo delivers deep lows and crisp highs with excellent note separation. The chrome hardware, original armrest, and dual-bound resonator showcase Gibson’s craftsmanship during this golden era of U.S. production.

This example is in very good vintage condition, showing light playwear and minor patina consistent with its age.
The frets show light wear. There are no issues and no apparent repairs. The truss rod is effective, allowing for future neck relief adjustments. The banjo is fully functional and ready for stage or studio use but does not include a case.
