I bought this about 3 years ago and have finally convinced myself that my pathetic finger nails will never let me get good consistent tone while trying to play in the clawhammer style. I wasn't impressed with the bridge and tailpiece as delivered so I've installed better quality pieces. It comes with the Gold Tone gig bag, an extra set of strings and a handful or model railroad spikes for installing on the 5'th string which I never got around to. It has a 3 piece maple rim, maple neck and rosewood fingerboard along with smooth operating planetary tuners on all strings. There are no dents or dings on it and the Remo head shows no playing wear. I did spend some time trying to get passable at the clawhammer style but apparently not enough to even cause any fret wear. It weighs 6 pounds which is really light for a banjo. As you can see the bridge looks a little out of square but that is the way this one intonates best.
