We're glad to know you're happy! Thank you so much. Cheers!
Such pretty sound
Highly recommend! Incredible quality overall and has the twangy bluegrass sound you want in a banjo! Easy to learn on and is an incredibly well made instrument especially for one on the lower end of the pricing scale!

Never Owned a Banjo Before - Thought I'd GIve It A
I own a lot of guitars, but never owned a banjo. When an ex-display came up I jumped at it. Even with the cruddy strings on it, it still has that bright banjo sound. Sounds even better once I replaced the strings. Overall build quality is pretty good other than some sharp fret ends which I sort of expect on cheaper instruments. But it's easily fixed. The banjo has neck binding, hardware's nice and shinny (even being an ex-demo). That gives me confidence it's not going to rust in the coming years. Going off other guitars, the actions higher than I would expect, but I have to have a look at banjo specs and how they differ to setup. But at the price, I'm blown away with what you get., even paying new price.

Artist 5 String Banjo
I received my Banjo as a birthday gift from my daughter. I have been playing guitar for 40 plus years and have a large number of them. I was surprised by the build quality. It looks great. I have found that I keep picking it up and playing it. A whole new world has opened up. I love the unique sound. Thanks Artist Guitars.

Great Banjo
Straight out of the box the banjo looked great and arrived on time and intact. After some tuning and a slight tension of the head, the banjo played nicely, no buzzing or any issues and the action was low and easy to play. I removed the resonator because i prefer the sound without which is a nice option to choose either. I would definitely recommend this product.
