Luminous chrome hardware, white body and neck binding, and intricate inlay work on the headstock and rosewood fingerboard make this banjo hotter than a 2-dollar pistol. Mahogany neck, maple body, and U.S. Remo head project a strong, clear sound. 26-1/4" scale. 1-1/4" nut width.
It had been over 20 years since I played the banjo. My family got tired of hearing me talk about it and surprised me on my birthday, six years ago with this beauty. It is a dream to play. I have recommended it to many. It really gets little kids dancing too. I wish I had another just like it to leave at our mountain cabin. Maybe next birthday.
My musical style is Bluegrass & Country and this banjo suits them just fine! I was very surprised with the sound of the Epiphone MB-250 when I first tried it. The MB-250 has the same quality sound as some of the other "high priced" banjos I have played, and is far superior to others in it's price bracket. For what I paid, you just can't beat it. I bought the banjo online from GuitarCenter.com It took only 5 days from the time I ordered it to the day it was delivered! The packing was pretty good, no damage from the shipping. There was no "pre-setup" done on the banjo at all. I had to do it myself, which wasn't hard and didn't take much time. The neck did have a slight bow in it so I adjusted the truss rod and that took care of it. I highly recommend this banjo, for the price I paid it's a quality instrument. If my banjo was ever lost or stolen I'd have no second thoughts about going out and buying the same banjo right away. I love every thing about this banjo, from the sound to the looks to the price I paid!
I've had mine for 5 years and still can't find any fault with it. In the springtime, on the back porch at the farm in West Virginia it sounds right at home. The neighbors (1/4 mile away) can hear it and have asked me to get it out more often than I do. Bang for buck? It's difficult to beat this banjo.
