Product Overview
Recording King RK-R20 Songster 5-String Bluegrass Resonator Banjo w/ Remo Head, Natural
The Recording King Songster RK-R20 shows its roots with time-honored components that give a nod to bluegrass history right down to the original Recording King hex-stamped flange design. The mahogany resonator and neck combine with the rolled tone ring and classy gloss finish for true banjo tone and vintage bluegrass authenticity that players won’t often find at this price.
Recording King included the components for true banjo vibe, including a rolled brass tone ring, mahogany resonator and planetary tuners. The RK-R20 banjo also features an inlaid M.O.P. peghead inlay and heart-shaped position markers, planetary tuners and a bound Revebond fretboard.
With its sharp attack and minimal sustain, the Recording King Songster RK-R20 banjo is a great banjo for intermediate players ready to level up or those who want a banjo that delivers classic banjo looks without the vintage price tag. Packed with historic banjo vibe, and built in the same workshops as the Recording King top-line Madison and Elite banjos, the RK-R20 punches well above its price class in sound and style.
