The shipping was prompted well packed. While there was an original issue with very sharp fret ends, the company quickly took care of the issue with a replacement. The banjo itself is a great quality for the price, easy to place a bridge, change strings. This company is great to deal with, and I appreciate the ease in email and response.

Bought banjo as a gift for someone else. Beautiful powder coated maple, and mahogany accents. All chrome is very nice, but the fret board has some sharp edges and frets that stick out, nothing that can't be fixed. Overall good beginner banjo.

This is a very nice beginner banjo, for the price, but the tailpiece is very cheaply made. There was no tailpiece bolt included, and the tailpiece just fell off deeming the banjo not playable soon after setting it up.I contacted the company, and they graciously offered to send us the missing piece and 2 sets of banjo strings for our trouble! Nice company to work with!

This is a well constructed banjo an absolute steal at this price- plus the extras the tuner works great, the strap is very good and the case is very good, the value is amazing. Now I will talk about somethings for more experienced players and things the manufacturers could do to bring this banjo to the next level if they are reading, I am going to list a few things that should be done for very low cost at the manufacturering level (I am guessing around 10 to 15 dollars per unit) would put this on the next level 1. The fret gauge should be increased2. The position of the 5th string tuner -this I really can't do anything about but could be fixed at the manufacturer with no cost the problem with the position is I use my thumb for a C chord and when playing with the capo on the 2nd fret ( in key of A, very popular) I cannot fret the 4th fret on the D string with my thumb see picture the blonde fret board is the Vangoa the darker one is my Deering Sierra it should line up with the 4th fret. 3. The L bracket for the tailpiece that attaches to the coordinator rod this hole needs to be redrilled to lower the L bracket so the tailpiece sits firmly on the retention hoop see picture. 4. The tuners - they stay in tune but if you are sharp you have to down tune close to a half a step then tune up from there. The cheapest planetary tuners on the market for the 4 tuners on the headstock would be better than what is on there and if you want to upgrade the hole will be drilled for the right size and you won't have 8 tiny screw holes in your headstock ( I am doing this anyway). I bought this as a project doing these simple things wound make this banjo alot more attractive to more experienced players. Even with these issues still a extremely great deal.

This is a very nice banjo. It required very little set up out of the box. Template for placement of bridge is a nice addition. I am a long time guitar player, almost 50 years, and a competent amateur luthier. I am impressed with the quality of this open back banjo for the sub $200 price range. It is a solid package, very nice strap, decent gig bag, don't bother with the picks or transducer pickup, those are junk. All in all, nice banjo and a few good accessories.
