All the features most would desire for old time playing. A scooped fingerboard, brass rod tone ring, slightly wider neck in a very reasonably priced banjo. The dowel stick attachment is actually a unique design as it surrounds a metal coordinator rod (unseen) but allows easy neck removal and a degree of adjustability. Rosewood cap on heel and wood rim match fingerboard and truss rod cover. Engraved Gold Tone arm rest and ball style nuts for old time look and playing comfort. Mid price with all the features of high end! w/ Frailing scoop List $599 Includes Gig Bag.
