Nice setup..very easy to play. No effort required to command tone. Old sounding right off the assembly line. |

Customer Service

Warren is a great guy to talk to and deal with. Conducts business the old fashioned way. He does what he says he will do. If you get a chance to visit the Hickory, NC area, it is well worth the time to stop in and pay a visit. |

Love Warren and Ron's bridges. Have one on another banjo. Well engineered instrument. I personally would have preferred the Keith tuners that came on the older model RS banjos. |

I didn't really need to say anything at all about this banjo. They have an established track record and speak for themselves. 10+++++++++++ |

Sound
|
Received stock in used mint condition. Mainly Scruggs style picking. The selling price caused me to jump on it. Will use primarily for travel. For the money it has an impressive clean crisp sound with outstanding intonation at all positions. Hard to put down...perfect for playing by oneself. |

Appearance

Unique look. Certainly nothing fancy at all. But if you haven't seen one before it will cause you to look twice. |

Decent quality on the hardware. Gotoh geared fifth tuner works well. Stays in tune very well. |
