Flinthill FHB-260 "Deco King" 5-String Bluegrass Banjo w/ Case

Description

When it comes to solid value in a professional-grade banjo, Flinthill® has them all beat by a mile! Every Flinthill® has that elusive pre-war vibe and that authentic pre-war tone! Only the finest metal parts are used in these banjos—heavily plated in either gold or nickel. Our FHB-260 looks like no other banjo in its affordable price range-with its combination of high-gloss, black finish set off by glistening pearloid decorated with Art Deco designs.

Inspired by the great designs of Art Deco, this banjo showcases the decorative craftsmanship and high-end features of the pre-war movement. The banjo is covered with luminous pearloid on the back of resonator as well as on the peghead. There is also a “deco flower” pattern on both the resonator back and peghead and a deco fretboard inlay in M.O.P. The banjo comes with a one-piece resonator, a one-piece neck, 3-ply maple rim, nickel-plated hardware, a bound ebony fretboard and American Standard thread hardware. This model has a black gloss finish on the rim, resonator sides and neck. Authentic Mastertone-style tone ring and flange.
