I've built one and kit-bashed one to make a long neck. They are pretty solid and have a full mellow sound. Easy to build. The Saga site price is high, though. If you check around - eBay and Craigslist, etc. - you can find 'em surprisingly cheap. I like the necks in the kits too, nice feel.

It made a nice sounding banjo, and it is one of my favorites to play.
