Gold Tone Whyte Layde WL-250 submitted 2/28/2008 Submitter Geno7 Where Purchased banjo.com Year Purchased 2008 Price Paid 659 ($US) Sound Rich, full, clear sound Sound Rating 8 Setup Setup by Gold Tone, Everything set well Setup Rating 8 Appearance This is the Chinese build. Glossy finish, but the appearance is great. Appearance Rating 8 Reliability Only thing I don't like are the tuners. They are a little fussy. I had to tighten the screws up to get enough friction to hold them to hold in tune. Everything else is built very well. Reliability Rating 9 Customer Service Good warranty, lifetime warranty against defects. Customer Service 8 Components Only thing I don't like are the tuners. They are a little fussy.

Can't believe the quality for the price. It plays very well. It requires little effort to get a whole lot of sound. One thing I've noticed is the fact I can relax my hand a little more because its so easy to get volume. Relaxed hand is one of the keys to clawhammer. Overall Rating 10

Mastercraft Classic submitted 10/13/2005 Submitter Geno7 Where Purchased Banjo Hut Year Purchased 2005 Price Paid 400.00 ($US) Sound Banjo sounds good. I replaced the stock bridge with a Desert Rose and this made a massive change. Banjo sounds and plays wonderfully. Sound Rating 8 Setup The Banjo Hut set the banjo up very good and answered many of my questions over the phone. I ordered it and received it the next day packaged very well. Bridge placement was exact and was almost in tune. Setup Rating 10 Appearance Banjo looks great. Appearance Rating 9 Reliability Well made instrument... The tuners maybe could be replaced and the bridge should be replaced with a little better quality bridge. Reliability Rating 7 Customer Service Great customer service. They offer a 30 day money back return. Customer Service 9 Components The tuners maybe could be replaced and the bridge should be replaced with a little better quality bridge.
