Sound

The sound is wonderful for Scruggs style playing. It has a loud crisp sound while maintaining a nice bas sound as well. I am still playing around with what brige to use but the banjo sounds good with them all.

Sound Rating: 9

Setup

the banjo was set up at the factory and was done pretty good. I had to lower the action some to my liking. but all in all the setup was good.

Setup Rating: 8

The banjo has a wonderful dark stain along the neck and pot and a dark sunburst on the resonator. It has snowflake inlay which looks nice and un assuming.
