Description
Recording King is proud to introduce our most traditional Pre-war style banjo
ever. Modeled after the original Mastertone banjos of the 1930's, the Recording
King RK Elite offers players vintage sound and handcrafted construction.
Professional components like a classic Mastertone-style tone ring, true
steam-bent 3-ply maple rim and nitrocellulose lacquer finish put this banjo in a
category by itself. With classic design features like the vintage-style
double-cut Recording King peghead and custom Flying Eagle-style peghead and
fretboard inlay, this banjo proudly carries forward the tradition of one of the
history's most revered instrument manufacturers.
