Overview

Great for bluegrass and old-time music.

The Dirty 30s Series sits at the perfect crossroads of classic sound and historic design like the original Montgomery Ward mail-order instruments from the first half of the century, Dirty 30s guitars and banjos are the ideal companion for singer-songwriters, folk stylists or traveling troubadours. The Recording King Dirty 30s Open-Back banjo packs excellent playability and historic vibe into a retro-infused package that makes vintage-style and traditional banjo sound accessible to every player.

Case sold separately.
