About this banjo
We’ve built the USA Series M5 banjo entirely by hand in the USA with top-shelf woods like the Eastern curly maple neck and curly maple resonator.
Our original Fan-style fretboard inlay and hand-rubbed nitrocellulose lacquer round out the M5’s impressive set of professional features.
Recording King Vintage Hardshell case included.
