Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

The sound that comes from this banjo is great, and far better than the amount that you pay for. Overall craftsmanship is very good. The fingerboard is ebony.

The tuners are a bit lack luster, but completely sufficient, and have had no problems with slippage. Put the battery in the tuner, look up banjo tuning and tune it up. The tuning machines hold well.

The only assembly required is installation of the bridge. Just make small adjustments carefully and meticulously. There is a plastic measuring piece that sits on the neck.



Cons

This is cheap and does not come with any instructions.

    Notes setup required 30 minutes

    I removed tension on the strings until the bridge fit without much pressure on the head

    The guide is very close to proper placement but not exact


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    You will need to check placement by viewing bridge setup videos on youtube

    Next i used a drum dial to tighten the head to 90


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This required 20 minutes of tightening individual tension hoops
