Setup
|
the setup was ok the neck was a little loose and the bridge was in the wrong place but i took it to a bluegrass shope near my house and $50 later its right as rain |

Appearance

amazing its got thisinlay work on it thats breathtaking the headstock is espeshaly nice and if you turn it over there is a very pretty golden eagle
the one thing i dont like is on the back of the head stock theres 3 or 4 stickers but that only bothers me, none of my freinds who play it seem to mind |

all and all the it has choice parts other than the tuners wich unless tuning up every once and a while bugs you you shouldent have a problem
the other thing i have to say is that some of the bracets that hold on the rim to the head arnt on right their a little crooked but it dosent hurt the sound at all and no one will notece unless you tell them |

i love this banjo and would recomend it for all levels of players for the price that was paid even after the $50 setup it was a steal
only bad thing i can say about it is that the armrest gets in the way and makes it very hard to play clawhammer but hey all armrests do that what ya gonna do
its also a closed back wich makes it heavey but the volume it prodeces more than makes up for it |
