Recording King | RK-R20 Songster Resonator Banjo​

Product Description

With its sharp attack and minimal sustain, the RK-R20 Songster is a great-sounding traditional resonator banjo.

The Songster features an inlaid M.O.P. peghead inlay and heart-shaped position markers, plus a rolled brass tone ring, planetary tuners and a bound rosewood fretboard.

• Mahogany Resonator & Neck
• Multi-Ply Maple Rim
• 26-1/4” Scale Length
• Rolled Tone Ring
• Gloss Finish

RK’s Songster shows its roots with time-honored components that give a nod to bluegrass history right down to the original RK hex-stamped flange design. The mahogany resonator and neck combine with the rolled tone ring and classy gloss finish for true banjo tone and vintage bluegrass authenticity players won’t often find at this price.

The Songster resonator banjo is the perfect high-quality entry-level banjo for a beginner, or any player looking to step up. Packed with historic banjo vibe, and built in the same workshops as the RK top-line Madison and Elite banjos, the RK-R20 punches well above its price class in sound and style.

The RK-R20 is a great banjo for intermediate players ready to level up or those who want a banjo that delivers classic banjo looks without the vintage price tag. We've included the components for true banjo vibe, including a rolled tone ring, mahogany resonator and planetary tuners.
