Grafton "Popular #2" banjos are the continuation of the range that will offer all the best features in banjo design at very affordable prices - here is the specification for the "Popular #2" model:-
11" cast alloy rim with 24 brackets and an integral archtop tone ring
19 fret truss-rodded neck with edge binding and hand-dressed fretting
2-point neck attachment for extra stability
Vintage style planetary tuners
Solid armrest and good quality adjustable "Waverley" tailpiece
Easily removeable resonator
Top grade strings & bridge
Expertly set-up for optimum playability
- and plain but very acceptable finish & cosmetics
All this adds up to the best “entry-level/improver” banjo available in the UK at the moment - for sound, playability and stability, nothing else in this price bracket comes close .... Just the job for a move up from that very basic entry-level model ....
Built in the UK from imported parts.
Get a great sounding banjo with all the design quality that you really need to get (or keep) going on banjo - but at much the same price as many other brands that have few (or none) of these features
