Recording King RK-80, "The Professional." Description from the Recording King website: The RK-R80 Professional combines classic pre-war style features and desirable modern touches to create a great-sounding bluegrass banjo. The Professional features a mahogany resonator, mahogany neck, bound ebony fretboard, American Standard thread hardware, 20-hole tone ring and a 3-ply rim. The Professional features the traditional Recording King floral peghead and inlay and an authentic Mastertone-style flange.
Upgrades include a Gary Sosebee bridge and Sonny Osborne D-Tuners (retail $285.00). Sonny modified these tuners himself to fit. These are excellent tuners and stay in tune very well. The lever style makes them extremely easy to work and also allows you to use both at the same time. Tuners are removable.
Comes with the original case and a Dogwood Designs Blackberry Blossom leather strap. Banjo head is signed by Earl Scruggs.
