Sound

great bright sound. Loud clear ring. Great melodic sound up and down the neck. Good low ends as well as the high lonesome sound. |

Appearance
|
Beautiful light tone. The inlay is different and sets it out from other banjos. I added a wooden armrest that helps bring the light tones out of the banjo. |

Everything looks top notch. Looks like it would last a lifetime and even comes with a warranty saying so. |

Customer Service
|
The Bishline company was extremely helpful. Jim at banjo.com called them on the phone while I was in the store and they offered to do anything for me from staining the banjo a different color to putting a salty dog neck on a heirloom. Very nice people to work with. |

Components

The neck work (frets) is top notch. No buzzing and easy moving. Very fast neck. The detail work is great. Everything fits like a glove. |

Love this banjo. The sound is only outmatched by the craftsmanship. I would by all means buy another one. Highly recommend not only buying one but going through banjo.com to do so. |
