Overview

Outstanding crispness to highlight your melodies.

Inspired by the great designs of Art Deco, the Deco King RK-R60A banjo showcases the decorative craftsmanship and high-end features of the pre-war movement. The archtop model delivers the bright, clear tones preferred by players who want to highlight their melodies. The archtop tone ring accentuates mids and highs for an outstanding crispness in sound.

The Deco King Banjo is covered with luminous pearloid on the back of resonator as well as on the peghead. There is also a "deco flower" pattern on both the resonator back and peghead and a deco fretboard inlay in mother-of-pearl.

The Deco King banjo comes with a one-piece resonator, a one-piece neck, 3-ply maple rim, nickel-plated hardware, a bound ebony fretboard and American Standard thread hardware. This model has a black gloss finish on the rim, resonator sides and neck.

The RK-R60A also includes a vintage hardshell case with a brass Recording King nameplate.
