We just heard from Greg Earnest, who hosts a site with information and photos for those interested in Gibson banjos made prior to America’s entry into World War II – often simply called pre war banjos. Greg wanted to let everyone know that the site has moved to a new location.

This site, called Pre War Gibson Banjos, is set up to allow owners of these highly prized instruments to pass along photos and descriptions of their banjos, and allow those interested in the history of the instruments to peruse the listings. Greg doesn’t lay any claims to presenting a definitive overview of pre war Gibsons, but instead is offering his site as a venue for others who share his passion for these instruments that launched the music we all love.
