Good banjo for money, best for bluegrass, however also has a surprisng aptitude for frailing. Has a bright sound,EMERSON powerbridge really woke it up.
Sound Rating: 8
Not set up at all ,loose neck ,no strings, tailpiece and bridge in case, but thats ebay.
Setup Rating: 3
Beautiful bookmatched sunburst resonator and matching beck, nice but simple inlays, I think this is an older model, wood rim and solid flange and tonering. Slight oxidizing on rim, banjo sat a long while unplayed, but is makin up for lost time.

Necks need to fit tighter and tuners are junk, other than that, fine.
Components Rating: 7
If it was stolen I'd get a Gold Tone ob=250, but for 150.00$ it was a score!
