Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around a maple rim, maple neck, steel alloy tone ring, and removable resonator, the MC-150R/P gives its owner two physical configurations in one banjo. Leave the resonator installed for the standard setup, or remove the resonator and its mounting brackets for an open-back arrangement. The natural-gloss instrument carries 22 frets, a 26-inch scale length, GT Master Planets tuners, and a five-string Straightline tailpiece.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who want to change between resonator-equipped and open-back configurations by removing the supplied resonator hardware.
