Description
 
The first maple Recording King bluegrass model! Designed by Greg Rich, this banjo features classic pre-war styling, recalling the most supremely crafted banjos from the Golden Age of musical instruments.

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.
