Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
OB-2 Bowtie is a right-handed five-string banjo with a solid mahogany neck, maple resonator, and gloss orange finish. Its 11-inch, 19-hole brass flat-top tone ring sits with a three-ply maple rim, while the ebony fingerboard carries 22 frets over a 26.25-inch scale. Gotoh Planetary tuners, a Snuffy Smith bridge, Presto-style tailpiece, and dual coordinator rods complete the hardware package. The dual rods provide the precise adjustment identified for this model, and a case is included.
