Description

Key Features and Construction

• Body: It has a poplar block rim and a sapele veneer resonator. The two-piece flange design allows the resonator to be removed, converting it to an open-back banjo for a mellower tone if desired.
• Neck and Fretboard: The neck is made of okoume with a purpleheart fretboard. It features a comfortable profile for guitar players transitioning to banjo and has distinctive special acrylic vine inlays.
• Hardware: Key components include a rolled brass tone ring, an 11″ coated Remo Weatherking head, and a steel tension hoop with 24 brackets. It is equipped with chrome banjo tuners and a purpleheart/maple bridge.
• Tone: Reviewers note it produces a bright, clear, and metallic sound, though some suggest a proper setup (like tightening the head or changing the bridge) is needed to achieve the best tone.
