Hometown sparta, tennessee
My banjo was well put together, tone ring mount to rim fit great, neck to the body fit great, no complaints. Tightened head and changed bridge to farquar but bridge that was stock sounded good. I think this banjo will be as good as I will ever need and I really like the workmanship in it. The action is really good too, this banjo has a good tone, very sweet with enough volume for most situations. try one, I don't think the banjo will disappoint for the price.

Has great volume and tone. The finish is spectacular. A truly beautiful banjo. My banjo teacher, who also plays in one of the most famous bluegrass bands out there, says it sounds as good as his Gibson "Earl Scruggs." Now for the only complaint. On my banjo, more time should have been taken fitting the neck to the pot. I had to shim it to get rid of the movement caused by the combination of a poorly fitted neck and a very heavy banjo. This being said, it easily competes with, or exceeds any banjo I've tried.
