A new, improved version of this popular banjo from Florida. It now has a better quality 11” x ¾” thick 3-ply maple rim with a very heavy cast brass flathead tone ring & heavy-duty chrome-plated metalwork - 24 brackets in a cast one-piece flange and a Straightline tailpiece. The plating is very good. Fitted with a top sprayed Remo head. The truss rodded maple neck is quite slim with a cream bound rosewood fingerboard and pearl diamond position markers. The scale length is 26 ¼” with 22 frets. Modern banjo fretting, very nicely done and hand-dressed for an excellent playing surface. The action is set-up low but is adjustable as required. Fitted with good quality vintage style planetary banjo tuners and a geared 5th string peg. The neck is finished in clear gloss lacquer which matches the body & resonator very well - the finish is very good. The resonator is the standard convex type and the flange is the cast one-piece type. Overall, this banjo is very well built and good value for money. It has a very bright, very loud tone suitable for any open chord tuning.
