Product Description
The Elite Flying Eagle
The RK-Elite-75 is Recording King's most faithful tribute to the legendary pre-war banjos of the 1930s. A classic tone ring and true steam-bent 3-ply maple rim give the Elite 75 that explosive, focused voice that serious bluegrass players spend years chasing. Add a nitrocellulose lacquer finish and the construction credentials speak for themselves.
The 27-3/8" scale delivers extra punch, while Gotoh planetary tuners with a geared 5th peg keep you rock solid in tune. A bone nut, Presto-style tailpiece, and maple/ebony bridge reflect the kind of component choices that define instruments a tier above. The bound ebony fretboard is dressed with custom Flying Eagle-style mother-of-pearl inlay, and the vintage double-cut peghead carries the same inlay work.
Includes hardshell case.
