Any opinions on such things here? Actual experiences? I grew up playing my dad's (non-Mastertone) Gibson, so that's what I'm used to and like, probably even more than Vegas. |

I'm hoping to have a few more qualitative opinions from this forum, as that reviewer didn't quite say how well it plays, though if he's playing what he says he is for his other instrument, he's got to know what's good. |

Well, whoever made 'em, they were good 'uns. Though they didn't make many 5-strings, just tenors (it being the era of the tenor banjo, the 20s). Of the modern ones, I know nothing. Bob |
