Setup


Kingstowne Acoustic did a really nice job, but I thinned out the bridge to better suit my tastes. Not a knock on the set up, just needed a little tweaking.

Appearance


The inlay is awesome, the color is awesome. The Remo Renaissance head color really sets it apart from the others I tested.

Reliability


Lifetime Guarantee comes with the banjo. The folks at the music store can do just about any type of repairs in the store. I don't expect to have any trouble.

Customer Service


Kingstowne Acoustic set up and checked everything prior to purchase. I had to wait awhile for the banjo to come in, but it was worth the wait.

The banjo was set up ok, but I reset the Bridge for my standards.
I also re-tweaked the head, A simple intruement to adjust.

Appearance


This instruement is gorgous to look at. The gold Hardware and
accented Tone of Light gold Stain Set it apart from others.
The head is Aged to give it that Authentic old look. I found no
major flaws or bad inlay work, and was happy with all the extra
care in detail.

The finish is A-Ok and will last, I will use it all the time and
enjoy it for ever.
