Recording King Madison Open Back RK-OT25 Banjo with Scooped Fretboard -
5-string Open-back Banjo with Maple Rim, Maple Neck, Padauk Fingerboard, and Remo Head - Hand-rubbed Brown Satin
A Vintage-inspired Picking Machine
Players who demand quality, versatility, and value will find everything they're looking for in the Recording King Madison Open Back. Thanks to its scooped padauk fingerboard, this lightweight banjo is ideal for old-time banjoists, especially those who favor clawhammer-style playing. You'll also appreciate the Madison Open Back's vintage-inspired features, which include a steam-bent maple rim and a Presto-style tailpiece. This open-back beauty also includes a Remo Fiberskyn High Crown banjo head, plus a 24-bracket tension hoop for easy adjustments. A high-quality bone nut, rock-solid planetary tuners, and eye-grabbing nickel-plated hardware round out the Recording King Madison Open Back — it's a true vintage-style picking machine.
A pro-level banjo for old-time players
It's clear that Recording King had old-time players in mind when they built the Madison Open Back. This vintage-style banjo is tailor-made for clawhammer-style playing, with a scooped fingerboard for strumming and a steam-bent maple rim for a woody, traditional open-back sound. Here at Sweetwater, we've found the Madison Open Back to be a great traveling companion, thanks to its extra-light weight. Additionally, its relatively mellow tone (as compared to a resonator model) makes the Madison Open Back an ideal banjo for lower-volume applications.
