I have a long neck version. Love it. Great sound & very playable. You forgot to mention that the drum isn't drilled through & use a drum rim bracket. Very much like the old Vega banjos.
I agree with another comment: You should mention the bracket shoe band. That and the Tub-a-Phone tonering give it a very Vega-esque look and sound. And Gold Tone fit and finish is usually first-rate.
Yeah they should change their banjos because some random run of the mill idiot doesnt like the looks of them maybe you should change your boyfriend because I think hes ugly
