Open back with a dish in the fretboard for claw hammer style.
Really well put together and has that old timey sound and aesthetic.
Great player. Perfect action.
I bought this as second banjo 2 or 3 years ago so I could leave it at work and practice when I stayed overnight.
It worked, I leaned Foggy Mountain breakdown!
I have since picked up guitar and I don’t need 2 banjos so this one reluctantly goes and I am keeping my Epiphone for sentimental reasons. If it were only sound and playability at stake I would keep this one but the epiphone was my dads.
