Where Purchased: Musicians Friend
Year Purchased: 2012
Price Paid: 2100 ($US)
Sounds like a sweet mahogany banjo not to loud just the right volume. Crystal clear notes up and down the neck. The low d string gives a nice vibration across the whole instrument.
Sound Rating: 9
Had to adjust the action to high for my tastes. It was shipped over 4000 miles and was still in tune out of the box.
Setup Rating: 9
Awesome looking banjo, I love the inlays on the fingerboard and headstock. The wood has very pretty grain. I love the smell of a new banjo, smells like a wood shop with a hint of carpenters glue.
Appearance Rating: 10
Quality through and through foresee no problems. Profession level instrument , no back up needed
Reliability Rating: 10
Lifetime warranty, Musicians friend was the cheapest on price and shipping. Was expecting the banjo to be way out of adjustment but all I had to do was lower the action about .032 at the 12th fret. The bridge was spot on perfect.

Very nice neck shape and inlays,quality bridge and tuners. Finish is outstanding can find a flaw on it. Case is the nicest case Ive owned. Deering tail piece time will tell if I like it.
Components Rating: 10
Im completely satisfied with my purchase. Dont expect to buy another banjo unless I can get my kids interested in playing music.
