My friend Jack, just completely re did his Sullivan Radcliff. It was already a really nice banjo, but he liked the Truetone banjos we saw at the Huber booth at IBMA and he's a big "bling" guy so he recently made the following updates.

1) Got Welden Lister (weldonlister.com/index.htm) to do some beautiful engraving work on a new armrest, tension hoop and price tail piece

2) Sent the pot off to Steve Huber and co to get the new HR 30 ring and engineered rim installed

He got it back this weekend and we took it up to Mike Munford who put it all together for him and set it up.

It's now a very unique banjo with really wonderful pre-war tone. Check out the pix

Sharp as a tack, that engraving is top notch. Good looking banjo for sure.

Looks great! Now how about some sound files?

We'll try to post some sound files, but that might be a few weeks down the road

That's a very good looking banjo but for maximum bling I'd think you would want it copper flashed and heavy gold plated to go with that beautiful engraving.
