My RK-R82 Professional Gold is a wonderful banjo, it's the only one I play now. I bought it new from Banjo.com in 9/10; got a great deal, nice people to deal with. When I first got it, I thought the neck was a bit narrow; the 4th string would easily slide off doing push offs on it, but that was just poor technique on my part; have fixed that now! Ross Nickerson had an oppurtunity to play it this fall and he seemed very impressed with the sound. I have a few pictures on my homepage and when I get around to it, I'll post some more.

	Dan Mountjoy says: 1/31/2011 10:08:58 AM RK80 -- purchased from Lynwood Lunsford, based on his recommendation for a banjo good enough to play on stage (if I ever got that good!) without breaking the bank!

	jduke says: 2/1/2011 3:19:07 PM I love my Ne Plus Ultra openback. A No-Knot tailpiece, Ren head, Bart V. bridge and Nylon strings make it sing!

	GREZMONKI says: 2/6/2011 2:11:18 PM I really enjoy my RK-80. Like people often comment in product reviews," if it were to ever get lost or stolen, I would replace it with the same right away!"

	HisTreeNut says: 2/15/2011 8:56:14 AM I have an RK-80 and it is good enough for my closet banjo playing :-).
	banjodawg says: 2/18/2011 12:09:22 PM I love my RK-R87-SN and I have RK-75 with a custom neck and peghead on order!
	RB-1 says: 2/22/2011 7:42:13 AM A 75 (one of the very few so far in Europe, I guess)
	Bohonkie says: 3/2/2011 12:05:08 PM I have an RK-R85-SN and really like it. I got one of the early ones (ser nr 77) and I had to do some touch up and a lot of set up but now it sounds and plays great (see my review). RK makes so many models now, I don't know which one I'd get if I was in the market for a new one. But my next will be gold. I lean toward gold and maple.
	teletodd says: 3/2/2011 1:23:23 PM I have an RK R87. Gorgeous banjo and plays like butter.
	MoTomCat says: 3/12/2011 8:02:46 PM I have 2 RKs. My RK-80 is one of the first batch, serial #30. Greg Rich did a fantastic job of engraving the arm rest and tension hoop on it, the only RK-80 I know of with this engraving. There are pictures in the RK folder on my homepage if anyone wants to see. It is one great sounding banjo too. I love it. I also have a RK-82. It sounds every bit as good as the RK-80 and the gold is really nice on it. Three banjos sit on stands in my music room, the 2 RKs and a Gibson. Each day when I decide what to pick up to play, the Gibson is the one that just sits in it's stand. That's how much I like the sound of the RKs.
