What Stands Out
Quality Craftsmanship
The Recording King RKO-3S showcases exquisite craftsmanship with precision construction, ensuring durability and a resonant sound that appeals to both beginners and experienced musicians alike.
Classic Sound
Designed with traditional open-back construction, this banjo offers warm tonal quality ideal for folk, bluegrass, and old-time music, satisfying players seeking authenticity in their performance.
Affordability
Combining high-end features with a budget-friendly price, the RKO-3S opens up banjo playing to a wider audience, making quality music accessible without sacrificing performance.
Product Details
- The Dirty 30's open-back RKO-3S sits at the perfect crossroads of classic sound and historic design. Like the original Montgomery Ward mail-order instruments from the first half of the century, this Dirty 30s banjo is the ideal companion for singer-songwriters, folk stylists or traveling troubadours. This banjo packs excellent playability and historic vibe into a retro-infused package that makes vintage style and traditional banjo sound accessible to every player. With a great-looking satin finish, Maple neck and Remo Recording King banjo head, the RKO-3S delivers classic tone and is light enough to take on the road with ease. A case is sold separately.
