The Elite Hearts & Flowers
Where the Elite 75 wears the bold geometry of the Flying Eagle, the RK-Elite-76 carries one of the most beloved inlay traditions in bluegrass history — the classic Hearts & Flowers pattern, rendered in mother-of-pearl across both the fretboard and peghead. It's an instantly recognisable emblem of the pre-war golden era.
Beneath the ornamentation, the construction is uncompromising. A classic-style tone ring, true steam-bent 3-ply maple rim, and nitrocellulose lacquer finish give the Elite 76 the projection, sustain, and warmth that define serious bluegrass tone.
The hardware list reads like a checklist for players who know what matters: Gotoh planetary tuners with a geared 5th peg, bone nut, Presto-style tailpiece, and a maple/ebony bridge. The one-piece mahogany resonator and one-piece flange round out a build that punches well above its price point.
Includes hardshell case.
