So I recently inherited a custom Gibson Mastertone 5-string and am loving it!! I will hopefully have pics up at some point. It belonged to my Great Grandpa who I had the blessing to know and play music with for 19 years. I am the only current member of my family interested in playing banjo so It came to me. He had it made not long before his death and the Gibson plate had been replaced with a Mother of pearl like plate with his name engraved into it by the luthier so it is an awesome memento to his memory. I am finding that tastefully added banjo to acoustic sets can add the perfect extra layer.

Yeah I have been blessed in that I have a family of serious musicians 4 generations back so there is a great recourse of equipment when needed

Really cool. Banjo for praise service? Something I'd like to try.
