Loud and bright sound. An excellent beginner's banjo. |

Appearance
|
Bare minimum on the extra's but they almost went out of their way to make a butt-ugly headstock. Can't fix that as any work exceeds the cost of the banjo. |

Reliability
|
I play almost daily, and the finish on the head came off fairly quickly. Everything else still seems OK |

Customer Service
|
Never had to deal with them. I figured my instructor at the time would help me out, as he sells them and he recommended it. |

Components
|
Lose the head stock and install something more traditional, without maxing out the price.. |

You can't beat it for a beginner instrument. I suppose as a backup it would work too. |

This one smokes! Full title: "Earl Scruggs with Family & Friends - The Ultimate Collection - Live at The Ryman". Great production, selection, etc. Just released (late 2007), this can't be beat. |
