Great banjo with a ton of extras for less than I could find it anywhere else
3 of 3 found this helpful Ordered from this store to the US, shipping took about a week. The service done by the luthiers at 12fret, adjusting height of each string and adding capo spikes is very helpful and well done. When I got it, it was well packed in great condition and the bridge was even still perfectly placed. I read a lot of reviews recommending the Deering Goodtime 2 and how great it sounds for the price and this deal right here was the cheapest I could find a new one and it came with all of these great bonuses. The tuner fits really nicely on the neck and seem even more accurate than my Snark clip on chromatic. The bag is really sturdy, well padded, and has nice backpack straps as well as the the carrying handle. This is my first banjo so I don't have much to compare it to, but everyone I've showed thinks it's a a beautiful instrument with a beautiful sound. The action on the strings is set so comfortably that, having never seriously played a steel string instrument, I was able to practice for hours the first day I got it without my tender, uncalloused hands causing any real discomfort. Oh and the steve martin cd and book are really funny and are a good for a beginner or intermediate banjo player who like pretty music
