Recording King RK-77 EliteI think they made only 21 of these. This one is #9 of the lot."We hand-fit the USA Gold Elite in our workshop in Hayward, CA. Based on the platform of our best-selling Elite, the USA Gold Elite offers players vintage sound and handcrafted construction in a professional-level US-assembled banjo. Top-shelf components like a classic Mastertone-style tone ring, true steam-bent 3-ply maple rim and nitrocellulose lacquer finish put this banjo in a category by itself. With classic design features like the vintage-style double-cut Recording King peghead and custom Flying Eagle-style inlay, this banjo proudly carries forward the tradition of one of history's most revered instrument manufacturers."
Comes in a nice Recording King deluxe hard shell case. These were assembled and set up by Jim Burlile. They are great sounding and playing banjos!youtube.com/watch?v=WbeugdfbQU0 (gold plated - 77)youtube.com/watch?v=X49HkK4jgT4  (nickel plated version - 75)
