| This Golden Wreath banjo is a beautiful banjo
that is an accurate reproduction of the classic banjos of the 1930’s, but
at a fraction of the originals cost. The mahogany neck is highlighted with
ivoroid binding, and duplicates the feel of the originals in neck width,
depth and the taper from nut to heel. Mahogany gives you a crisp yet sweet
tone that makes playing the banjo a pleasure and a joy. The two way adjustable
truss rod is smooth, accurate, easy to use, and ensures superb playability
without buzzing which allows players of all styles to adjust the banjos
action to their own unique requirements. The glued in frets ensure perfect
fretting accuracy, long term stability and ease of re-fretting.
The unplated 20-hole genuine Deering bronze tone-ring
that is fitted to the 3-ply rock maple rim is an exact replica of the most
sought after pot configuration of the famous 1930’s banjos. The cast one
piece resonator flange is the exact zinc alloy with the same mass and design
of the original; these are the key ingredients to achieve the classic sound.
The deep mahogany resonator has two concentric
rings inlaid into the back. The depth of the internally tapered side walls
is to the exact specifications of the originals, and gives that rich, hollow
character that is so desirable; making the banjo more responsive, clearer
and helps highlight the bell like harmonics that banjoists need and want. |
