Review: Flinthill FHB-285 Archtop Banjo - At first folks you might be skeptical by the prices on these banjos but My self knowing how the Flinthill Line came about from the original Recording King factory, these are exact models just branded under the AXL Music corp. as FlintHill which is owned by Saga Music. But this banjo was Fantastic, the tone was alright out of the box but after a week of tweaking it to my favorite set-up as an Archtop Banjo goes this thing can't be beat by anything else out there anywhere near this price range. This banjo came with a 3 ply maple rim, a pre-war repro archtop tonering and just a real easy and smooth neck up and down the fretboard. I changed the bridge and strings on mine but thats all personal preference as far as that goes. Any negative reviews you read on the other models have to be of someone either not knowing the set-up on the banjo or there could actually have been something wrong with It but whenever working with desertcart.com I always feel safe because if you are not satisfied with it they will cover and handle all the steps for a refund but for myself this is probably the best deal I've ever had on a banjo and Ive owned 8-9 banjos in the last 6-7 years and thats from fenders to recording kings and this takes the cut of being the best out there so far. Along with this is the case which is as nice of a case as ever, as Ive said before you cannot go wrong with this banjo. ## Features - PreWar-style 3-ply maple rim, Figured Maple neck and resonator, Cremona Sunburst finish - Ebony fingerboard with Hearts & Flowers (Style 6) pearl inlays to match peghead, Double-bound fingerboard and peghead, Slim, fast neck with adjustable truss rod - Vintage-style, single-piece die-cast flange, PreWar-style armrest and Presto tailpiece - Nickel-plated metal parts, Dual coordinator rods in rim, Finest quality maple bridge with ebony top - PreWar-style, No-hole cast raised-head tone ring, Authentic two-band planetary tuners with geared 5th, Plush-lined hard shell case included ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B007WT9J9K | | Back Material | Ebony, Maple | | Customer Reviews | 5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars (1) | | Date First Available | April 20, 2012 | | Item Weight | 11.7 pounds | | Item model number | FHB-285A | | Number of Strings | 4 | | Product Dimensions | 38.2 x 13.8 x 3.8 inches | | Top Material | Ebony, Mahogany, Maple | ## Product Details - **Back Material Type:** Ebony, Maple - **Brand:** Flinthill - **Finish Type:** Metal - **Instrument:** Banjo - **Item Weight:** 11.7 Pounds - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 38.2 x 13.8 x 3.8 inches - **Manufacturer:** Saga Musical Instruments - **Number of Strings:** 4 - **Operation Mode:** Manual - **Top Material Type:** Ebony, Mahogany, Maple ## Images ![Flinthill FHB-285A Archtop Banjo with Case - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71qkCwLt37L.jpg) ![Flinthill FHB-285A Archtop Banjo with Case - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61fqUQUgO5L.jpg) ![Flinthill FHB-285A Archtop Banjo with Case - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61-QWN9PhPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Flinthill FHB-285 Archtop Banjo *by S***6 on April 19, 2013* At first folks you might be skeptical by the prices on these banjos but My self knowing how the Flinthill Line came about from the original Recording King factory, these are exact models just branded under the AXL Music corp. as FlintHill which is owned by Saga Music.
