Description

RKH-05 Dirty 30's Resonator Banjo. The Dirty 30's Series sits at the perfect crossroads of classic sound and historic design. Like the original Montgomery Ward mail-order instruments from the first half of the century, Dirty 30's guitars and banjos are the ideal companion for singer-songwriters, folk stylists or traveling troubadours. The Recording King Dirty 30's Resonator Banjo packs excellent playability and historic vibe into a retro-infused package that makes vintage style and traditional banjo sound accessible to every player. With a great-looking satin finish, maple neck and Remo Recording King banjo head, the Dirty 30's resonator banjos have classic banjo tone and are light enough to take on the road with ease.

  • Crummy packaging
The banjo by itself is a amazing banjo. Just don’t buy it from this seller. I bought the first one, it was just loose in the box with barely any packaging, and it was very damaged. I sent it back and got another one. The second one was somewhat better packaged, but the neck was broken. Great banjo, bad packaging that resulted in a unplayable instrument. ... show more

  • Let down
Seemed like a nice banjo, but banjo came in terrible shape. String broken and crack in head. Someone marked where bridge needed to be already. I believe this banjo was returned and then shipped to me when I ordered one.

  • Love this banjo!
Good communication with the seller. Banjo arrived exactly as described (barely used and well below average price). Packaged securely and perfect shape and sound!

  • Great instrument for the price
I'm a new banjo player and did a lot of research before settling on this one, and I am not disappointed. I don't have a thousand dollar instrument to compare it to, but I've no issues with this one. Looks and sounds beautiful.

  • Great! Only minor scratches and wear. On metal rim.
The Banjo plays and sounds great! No complaints there but there are some scratches and chips I had on the rim of the banjo or metal areas, as well as the neck. But I definitely recommend this product.
