Has a great bluegrassy sound. Very loud, and sounds terrific up and down the neck.
Sound Rating: 10
The banjo was set up terrificly. It was even tuned up when I took it out of the case.
Setup Rating: 10
It is a beautiful banjo. Not too much, not too little. The sunburst on the resonator is very pretty, as is the inlay on the neck. No flaws on it whatsoever when I received it.
Appearance Rating: 10
It seems like a very solidly built banjo that I will definitely be keeping around. I don't anticipate getting another one in a very long time.
Reliability Rating: 10
Banjo.com did a great job setting up the banjo and shipping it. It arrived in perfect condition, and it only took five days to receive it from the order date. If I need to do any online ordering for banjo related items in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to order from banjo.com again.
Customer Service: 10
Everything about it is great. I may change the bridge in the future, but I am definitely not in any hurry to do so. I don't see that any part of it needs to be upgraded.
Components Rating: 10
I would most definitely recommend this banjo to anyone looking for an upgrade. If it was stolen, first I would cry, and then I would get another one. I would have to say my favorite feature is the tone ring. My old banjo didn't have one, and having a banjo that has one makes all the difference in the world. I can't think of anything that I wished I'd asked before I bought it. It is truly a great banjo, and it met all of my expectations and more.
