Price Paid: Don't Remember historic exchange rates / currency converter

Sound

Very versatile. I've had the banjo set up as an archtop, flathead (with a Sullivan conversion ring), and as an open back frailer.

Sound Rating: 9

Setup

It was set up well.

Setup Rating: 8

Appearance

Very attractive with colored abalone and pearl inlays on fretboard, headstock, backstrap and neck heel. Checkerboard binding on neck and resonator.

Appearance Rating: 10

Reliability

Quality components have lasted many years.

Reliability Rating: 10

Customer Service

None. Company is no longer in business. But, none needed. I was able to track doen information through one of the original owners of Liberty Banjo Co., Jim DeCava, who was very forthcoming with information.

Customer Service: 5

Components

Best quality components available were used in construction.

Components Rating: 10

Overall Comments

Great banjo that appreciates in price due to high quality and limited availability. Not too many become available on the used market. This is a 1976 banjo.

Overall Rating: 10
