Description
The Maple Ridge provides an auspicious introduction to the world of Rickard Banjos, with a thumpy, warm tone that can be hard to find in instruments manufactured by bigger retailers - and that's put Bill Rickard's name on the map as one of the best banjo luthiers working today. While it may the most basic option from the Ontario-based builder's shop that we carry, the Maple Ridge is certainly no slouch, with premium tone woods and a Dobson-style tone ring for an authentic old-time sound that clawhammer players won't be able to get enough of. Premium upgrades like Rickard's famous Cyclone planetary tuners and EVO gold frets make this one a banjo that demands attention, and also serve to improve this instrument's playability and durability in turn. We can't wait to send the Maple Ridge home with you. Included in the price is a Superior hard-shell case.
