Custom Recording King RK-M5 USA Series Maple Resonator Banjo

This B-stock banjo was a NAMM trade show piece. It has some play wear and a number of cosmetic flaws, specifically hardware scratches and tarnish.

S/N 160425028

We've built the USA Series M5 banjo entirely by hand in the USA with top-shelf woods like the Eastern curly maple neck and curly maple resonator.

Our original Fan-style fretboard inlay and hand-rubbed nitrocellulose lacquer round out the M5's impressive set of professional features.
