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. The
FHB-280 features a neck of solid mahogany and a resonator to match, all
in a gleaming natural high-gloss finish. The resonator features the
classic 2 purfling rings on the back. The sand-cast, flat-head tone ring
closely follows the original pre-war specs to provide the tone and
volume that every traditional-style banjo-player dreams of.
Highest-quality 4:1 planetary tuning machines (including the 5th peg)
ensure accurate, effortless tuning. The peghead and fingerboard feature
intricate designs in M-O-P. All metal parts on the FHB-280 are heavily
nickel-plated. Flinthill® banjos out-perform many other makes of banjos
costing three or four times the price!
