Appearance Rating 9 Reliability It's as dependable as any much higher priced instrument. Reliability Rating 10 Customer Service Never tried to contact them. Customer Service not rated Components No problems that I can think of. Components Rating 10 Overall Comments I helped a friend pick out this banjo. You get a great banjo for a fraction of the price. If you like Gibson style instruments and can't afford the Gibson price, then this is your answer. Overall Rating 10
