Evokes the Vibe of a True Classic
If you're a connoisseur of 1930s-era Mastertone banjos, you'll find the Recording King Elite Flying Eagle to be right up your alley. Modeled after those early-1900s gems, the Elite Flying Eagle offers the perfect combination of vintage-inflected sound and handcrafted build quality. You'll love the feel of this banjo, thanks to its slim-profile mahogany neck and easy-playing bound ebony fingerboard, while its 27-3/8-inch scale ensures an ultra-punchy sound. The Elite Flying Eagle is replete with pro-level appointments, including a classic Mastertone-style tone ring; a steam-bent, 3-ply maple rim; a bone nut; and Gotoh tuning machines, along with historic-themed cosmetics, including a vintage-style, a double-cut peghead and custom Flying Eagle inlays. A 1-piece mahogany resonator and top-quality Remo Frosted High Crown head round out the Recording King Elite Flying Eagle's impressive features.
Soaring with old-fashioned charm
The Recording King Elite Flying Eagle evokes the nostalgic charm of the original Mastertone banjos of the early 1900s. This old-fashioned instrument boasts plenty of period-correct features, including a classic Mastertone-style tone ring; a steam-bent, a 3-ply maple rim; and a Presto-style tailpiece. Here at Sweetwater, we've found the Elite Flying Eagle to be a worthy onstage performer, thanks to its beefy, 1-piece mahogany resonator and top-shelf, 11-inch Remo Frosted High Crown head.
