Can't yet afford that Gibson and was highly impressed with the Morgan Monroe. Where Purchased: Mac's Music and More Shelbyville Indiana I haven't tried the entry level Gold Tones, which are also supposed to be good. I would recommend this banjo to another entry level student. Considering it is an entry-level model under the $500 range, I have to give it a 10.

The tuners are very good and the instrument is all around solid. They didn't mind shipping me a (slightly) dinged up one. I doubt they take an order for this cheap an instrument seriously.

Seems like other people have had better luck with this company than I have. No appearance flaws - the armrest was dented slightly - it was obviously banged around a bit before it was packed up. I think the banjo is very pretty considering the price I paid for it. They adjusted the action and tightened a few things at my music place. Sorry to say I don't believe it was set up. Of course I am new, but this should serve me until I save enough for Deering's Calico. Sounds very good to me - bright and crisp. Where Purchased: Folk of The Wood (online) Submitted by Nicholas ( see all reviews from this person) on This is not the highest end banjo out there but it is made very well and it can really hold it's own in a bluegrass jam! If you're looking for a descent quality and cost friendly bluegrass screamer then this is a good start! Highly recommended bluegrass starter banjo for the price! I have since sold mine to make room for my new Nechville Banjo. This is a great overall bluegrass banjo for the price. I used it for a few years for every gig I played with no back up and it held up quite well.Ĭheap tailpiece for sure, could use a better tone ring but it's really not necessary for a beginner. Nice finish! Cheap Tailpiece though.and I would recommend upgrading the tone ring. and the choice of woods used are beautiful! Very nice inlay and wood work on this banjo. I swapped out the stock tone ring with an old Stew-Mac archtop conversion ring and it really made that banjo scream! Changing the original head, tailpiece and bridge really helped out too! Great bang for yer buck banjo! I eventually changed out the tonering and the bridge and it made a heck of a difference in the quality of the tone but it actually sounds pretty darn good from the star right out of the box. Very good quality starter bluegrass banjo for the price. Historic exchange rates / currency converter Sound If you want a gorgeous banjo that you will love to play for under $1000 this is it!!! Check out Banjo Warehouse for all sorts of interesting banjos for sale.Submitted by Hillbilly Gypsies ( see all reviews from this person) on The action is set nicely and is fully adjustable. The bridge is set with correct intonation. This has a new Huber frosted head by Remo which is set to 90 on a drum dial. This has been set up at the Banjo Warehouse. The banjo is definitely in good shape and the case is also clean. There are no spikes or 5th string capo but we can add those if you want. The fretboard has been oiled and is in good shape along with clean frets. The wood looks great, we have waxed the neck and resonator and they have a nice shine. The gold does have some tarnish but it still looks good. This is a stellar banjo for the money and not only looks great but plays and sounds incredible. On top of all of this the banjo also has the original case. This also has carving on the back of the neck at the neck heel which is beautiful.

The tone ring is a gold plated 20 hole full size tone ring which does a lot for the tone. The armrest is not just gold plated it is also engraved and this has a clam shell tailpiece. The neck has white binding on each side and there is w/b/w binding on each side of the resonator. This has a rosewood fretboard with some really nice flower inlays.
