Highlights
Quality
Highly recommended instrument of top quality and performance.
Was impressed with quality of materials and sound.
I read all the other reviews, a summary of which is that while it's quality construction, it needs a total professional setup.
It does not come set up from the factory and chances are the banjo head (drum head) will not have the appropriate tension and i... Read More
Price
For the price you can beat it!
Great present for my nephew, great price
They claim it use to sell for $449.
That is, it did once i got it adjusted, and /that/ is what cost it a star.
Shipping

It may be expected that being basically a banjo the treble strings have considerably more report than the e and a bass strings thats the nature of the beast
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
This isnt a guitar with a banjo body but a somewhat different instrument one in which the lower strings are clearly audible but not as pronounced and deep as they can be on a guitar because the sound is amplified by a banjo head
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
However the neck is straight and the bantar wellproduced
