Hey all,

Saw a thread on r/banjo today from someone trying to decide between the BG-150F and the new BG-175F so we put together a full comparison page that walks through specs, includes demo videos of both, and answers the most common questions:

I'd expect the 150F to be headed toward discontinuation.

Thanks for that, Geoff! I own a BG-150F (purchased from you), and I love it. I'm anxious to get a 175, mainly to try to answer the questions in my mind (and ears) regarding maple versus mahogany. Any idea when you will get them in stock?

You might be right, but at least for now it looks like the BG-150F has picked up a bevel cut rim, Presto-style tailpiece, and new inlays (including Mastertone badge).
