General

A fitting tribute to the Mastertone Banjos of thirties vintage, the Elite Flying Eagle is essentially the summit of every bit of Recording King's banjo-building knowledge. In terms of build quality and materials, everything has been thrown back through time, from the mahogany resonator and brass Mastertone-style brass tone ring to the bound ebony fretboard and mother-of-pearl inlaid position markers. In fact, the three-ply maple rim has even been steam-shaped - meeting traditional build techniques that are over a hundred years old.

Superior Materials = Superior Sound

Every inch of the Elite Flying Eagle bears quality components, including a set of genuine Gotoh machine heads and costly, tone-rich woods like ebony, mahogany and maple as well as brass. This banjo has also been crafted by the best luthiers at Recording King and features many 100% handmade elements. The result is extra-powerful, irresistible sound and the slightly extended range and comfy playability of a 27 inch scale length. This five-string model comes complete with an armrest and a deluxe case.

Autumnal Offerings from Fender

Wednesday 28 October 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

Whether you've already started thinking about your Christmas shopping list or not, Fender has one or two items you might want to add to it. Guitarists can choose from a Special Edition Standard Stratocaster Black MN, aChampion 100 Snow White amplifier combo, or even a Rustler six-string Banjo! Please note that the guitar and the amplifier are strictly limited editions, so if you want one, you'll have to act quickly.
