Sound
|
This review is for the collaboration banjo that Sullivan created to be given away on the BHO. I got to play it for a couple months before it was given away. It's got great pre-war sound, especially considering it's brand new. |

Setup
|
Needed a couple minor tweaks, but nothing major. Probably just shook loose in the mail! |

Appearance
|
I love the hollow inlays on the neck--they really stand out. And the marquetry on the reso is very impressive. |

Reliability
|
Not sure, because I had to give it away when it was still brand new! :-) But it seemed to be all very well-made, so I wouldn't have any concerns about reliability. |

Customer Service

The Sullivan family is always very helpful when I call 'em. Second to none--I wouldn't have any concerns about their level of service. |

Components

The V-35 tonering is the stand out component. This thing really rings! Great sound. |

Best banjo I've ever laid my fingers on. Can't wait to get one of my own in a few months. |
