That model was discontinued. The Bright Red RK85 and this new Flamed Maple are the same banjo except the finish. The Flamed Maple version is staying in production. So, for video tone comparisons you can still use my video of the red RK85 to hear what these sound like,...just not what they look like. You would likely agree that they look awesome in flamed maple. They are the same structurally otherwise.

Professional components like a classic Mastertone-style tone ring and true steam-bent 3-ply maple rim provide the fundamentals for traditional banjo tone. The highly-flamed maple resonator & neck and sunburst nitrocellulose lacquer finish result in a stunning banjo with excellent projection and beautiful aesthetics.

Rk-85 Elite
0 of 0 people found the following review helpfulDear Ross, banjo came yesterday in great shape. Love the finish on the Curley maple. Sounds very good vs my Mastertone. Cannot believe what they can do for less. Will have to check out Recording King guitars. Thanks for your attention on the order.
