Five-Star Bluegrass Banjo Pot

The banjo pot was great and had everything included. The rods, head, armrest and tailpiece are separate purchases which is understandable due to the number of options. I was going to make the wood rim, but the one that comes with it is perfect, so why mess with that... saved me a lot of lathe work. The chrome is very nice and the tone ring weighs a ton!

I used the pot kit to convert my Gibson RB banjo to a Mastertone clone. I really only needed the tone ring and the machined rim to make the conversion. I did use all the rest of the kit due to the superior Nickel plating on the other parts. It would be good if the machined rim would be sold separately as it really is not a matched set as I received both the rim and tone ring separately due a shipping error. The results were outstanding a loud and excellent sounding banjo. The conversion was easy and required only changing the neck studs to use the Stewmac double coordinator rods .
