The V35 is designed to give players that deeply coveted old-wood sound right out of the gate. Utilizing premium mahogany for the neck and resonator alongside top-tier Prucha nickel hardware, this banjo looks, feels, and most importantly, barks like a seasoned veteran of the bluegrass circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eThe heart and soul of this instrument lies within the pot assembly. By pairing Sullivan’s lightweight, air-dried 3-ply red maple rim with their proprietary V35 nickel flathead tone ring, the banjo produces an incredibly quick, explosive response. The tone is remarkably rich and dry, avoiding any unwanted overtones while delivering a chest-thumping low-end growl and a high-end crack that will slice right through the loudest parking lot jams. From subtle, melodic phrasing to driving, down-the-neck Scruggs style rolls, every single note pops with absolute clarity and authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eUp and down the neck, the playability is effortless and incredibly smooth. The rosewood fingerboard is dressed with durable stainless steel frets, meaning you get a slick, frictionless feel under your fingers that is built to withstand years of heavy playing without showing wear. The inclusion of Rickard Cyclone 10:1 ratio tuners provides unmatched stability and precision, allowing for seamless adjustments on the fly. Whether you are a professional looking for a rock-solid main stage instrument or a dedicated enthusiast chasing the ultimate vintage-style snap, this Sullivan V35 is a world-class powerhouse ready to deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Shape: 5-String Resonator\u003cbr\u003eHead: Remo Medium Crown Head\u003cbr\u003eBack and Sides: Mahogany Resonator with Tapered Sidewalls\u003cbr\u003eNeck: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard: Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eRim Specs: Sullivan Lightweight Air-Dried 3-Ply Red Maple Rim\u003cbr\u003eBridge: Sullivan Roasted Maple Bridge\u003cbr\u003eTuners: Rickard Cyclone 10:1 Ratio Tuners\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Nitrocellulose Lacquer (Traditional Mahogany Stain)\u003cbr\u003eNut Material and Width: Bone, 1.2\"\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 26-3\/8\"\u003cbr\u003eTone Ring: Sullivan V35 Nickel Flathead Tone Ring\u003cbr\u003eHardware: Prucha Nickel Components\u003cbr\u003eTailpiece: Presto Style\u003cbr\u003eFlange: 1-Piece Die Cast Flange\u003cbr\u003eFrets: Stainless Steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eNotice: This is a used item.
