I have had many banjos as I trade around alot... This little beauty can hold its own with anything out there. I actually think it sounds better than a couple of hubers I have had.
Sound Rating: 9
Banjo came perfectly setup from the guy I purchased it from. No setup needed at all... Came with Sosebee bridge...
Setup Rating: 10
I really haven't found a flaw on it yet.. The mahagony is perfect and the fit and finish is top quality and the tuners are much better than the GF-85's I had last year.
