The Gander-worthy Songster Banjo from Recording King Sweetwater is an Authorized Recording King Dealer Genuine Open Box Item Sweetwater's 2-year warranty and 55 point inspection Recording King Songster Resonator Banjo - Dark Brown Closed-back 5-string Resonator Banjo with Mahogany Body, Mahogany Neck, Revebond Fingerboard, and Remo Head - Dark Brown The Gander-worthy Songster Banjo from Recording King The Songster Resonator Banjo from Recording King is a deluxe 5-string banjo with bountiful features lifted straight from early 20th-century RK banjos. The Songster Resonator Banjo features a closed-back mahogany body with nickel resonator hardware and a premium Remo banjo head. This combo of a closed-back body and mahogany delivers thick, resonant tone with lots of rich sustain and potent midrange. It's a perfect fit for folk, bluegrass, Americana, and more, and is even fast to retune on the fly, thanks to planetary headstock tuners (they hold up much better to drastic tuning swaps than geared guitar-style tuners). Sweetwater players love this Songster's full-bodied tone and looks that match -- just look at those inlays! Each Songster is built in the same workshops as Recording King's top-end Elite and Madision banjos, but comes at a fraction of the price. If you're looking for an authentic American banjo packed with 20th-century spirit, this one from Sweetwater is a standout winner. Closed-back quality Why choose a closed-back banjo? A closed-back banjo offers more volume and a fuller, more mature tone than their open-back counterparts. The Songster Resonator Banjo's mahogany resonator yields bold, assertive tone that sings with the thick atmospherics of a mountain holler. Mahogany's stout midrange and bold sustain helps your banjo hold ground as a solo instrument (or for recording and playing with others). Meanwhile, nickel resonator hardware and a Remo head project notes far and wide with ample volume, sustain, and dynamic response. All these features make the Songster Resonator Banjo the perfect fit for bluegrass and similar styles -- it even channels old-school RK bluegrass banjos down to microscopic details like a hex-stamped flange design lifted from original RK builds nearly a century ago. High-performance comfort at a low price The Songster Resonator Banjo offers top-notch comfortable and quality at an incredibly modest price! It's no gimmick, the Songster is made in the same workshops as Recording King's top-tier Madison and Elite banjos. A comfortable mahogany neck and a Revebond fingerboard ensure great playability paired with a "C" neck carve for smooth and easy fretting up and down the neck. On the body, an authentic rolled tone ring ensures genuine vintage-style resonance that's tough to find on a banjo in this price range. When it comes to tuning, the Songster quickly retunes courtesy of four planetary-style headstock tuners, which make it a great choice for gigging players who need a single instrument that's reliable yet versatile. Recording King: retro refreshed The landmark Recording King brand traces its origins back to 1930s building contracts with the retail titan Montgomery Ward. During the early days of radio and recorded music, affordable but well-crafted Recording King guitars, banjos, and resonators swept across the nation far and wide. Now revived, Recording King hearkens back to those early days of production-line American instruments built for pros and budding musicians alike. Nearly a century later, these retro models take their cues from vintage designs for results that look and sound like their 1930s counterparts.
