I've done the comparative legwork...you get to build a GREAT sounding banjo for short change!Please be assured that I am an honest seller of parts, I will not, as some online sellers do, try to pass off inferior parts as the genuine item.

I will stand behind these parts and I will never send you something that is broken (unless advertised as such) nor will I pass off low quality work as anything but the truth.
