Designed by Greg Rich, this bluegrass banjo features classic pre-war styling, recalling the most supremely crafted banjos from the Golden Age of musical instruments. Now available in left- and right-handed models.
The RK-R80 offers a pre-war (WWII) sound at an affordable price. Product designer Greg Rich developed and monitors production of these models, with quality control standards set by Scott Zimmerman. Recording King artist Todd Taylor, who used the resonator banjo on his latest record 3-FIVE-N, says "these banjos are just out of this world.
Note: Our banjos are individually inspected, set up and tuned by the banjo.com staff in Georgia. We are banjo players, so we set them up the way we want to play them! Each banjo is in tune when we carefully pack it for shipment. Climate conditions and travel will affect the tuning, so it may need to be fine-tuned before playing. |
