This vintage-style banjo is tailor-made for clawhammer-style playing, with a scooped fingerboard for strumming and a steam-bent maple rim for a woody, traditional open-back sound. Here at Sweetwater, we've found the Madison Open Back to be a great traveling companion, thanks to its extra-light weight. Additionally, its relatively mellow tone (as compared to a resonator model) makes the Madison Open Back an ideal banjo for lower-volume applications.Recording King Madison Open Back RK-OT26 Banjo Features: Ideal for old-time music and clawhammer banjo players 2-ply steam-bent maple rim with a top-quality Remo BJ1100-H5 FiberSkyn head Whyte Ladie-style tone ring produces a mellow, rich tone that’s perfect for old-time music Maple neck carved into a comfortable “C” profile, then finished with a sleek hand-rubbed satin finish Padauk fingerboard with a traditional scoop at the end — a must-have feature for clawhammer-style players Rock-solid Presto tailpiece and nickel hardware 24-bracket tension hoop facilitates easy head adjustments SpecificationDetail Type Acoustic String Type Steel Number of Strings 5 Body Style Open Back Color Brown Finish Hand-rubbed Satin Top Material REMO BJ1100-H5 FiberSkyn Head Body Material 2-ply Steam Bent Maple Neck Material Maple Neck Shape C Fingerboard Material Padauk Fingerboard Inlay Pearl Dots Number of Frets 17 Scale Length 26.25" Nut Material Bone Nut Width 1.25" Bridge Material Ebony Tuners Planetary/Geared 5th Hardware Nickel Strings D'addario EJ60, light gauge Case Included Sold Separately RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
