an improved & upgraded version of this “Mastertone-style” banjo. It has a nice 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, cast one-piece flange and a cast tailpiece. The plating is very good. Fitted with a top sprayed 5-Star head. The truss rodded maple neck is quite slim with a cream bound rosewood fingerboard and pretty position markers. The scale length is 26 ¼” with 22 frets. Modern banjo fretting, 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 dark 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. A really good intermediate bluegrass banjo at a very attractive price
