Another vote for an archtop!

I just can't wait to get MY hands on one. Very nice.
Tube and Plates are the most wood left in one my rims, my favorite.
Yes, a tube banjo makes the ideal openback.
I request supply of tubes, plates and shoes. I already make my own tubes out of 3/8" American product.
Notice SAGA makes you buy a resonator when you want a 2-piece, like buying a big umbrella when all you want is a swimsuit and a hat.
Good luck from the Grapefruit farm

"Greg; Who made the prototype??"
Obviously the RK factory in Shanghai made the prototype

The Product Description mentions the 20-hole tone ring, but that's not included in the Specifications. Assuming that's a mistake.

Pardon my ignorance, but what's the difference between the RK30 and say, the RK35?

RK-35: 1-piece flange
RK-30: 2-piece, tube and plate, flange, with RK hexagonal flange hole shape
RK-30 also has a different inlay.
2-piece flange results in a thicker rim, I believe.

Both have matte finish, but the colors are considerably different. The R30 is "burgundy", which looks very reddish compared to the R35's more sedate brown.
