I just ordered an RS75. One of the questions Warren asked me was what color I wanted it to be. Well, I asked him if he had pictures of what he'd done in the past since my word descriptions don't mean a thing.

Turns out all the pictures of Yates banjos I can find are of the front, only 2 or three of the back and he didn't keep an album that included pictures of the backs.

Could you Yates owners take a picture of the back of your resonator and send it to me so I can decide what color I want, and can let Warren know.

A picture is worth more than thousands of words in this case.

This would be greatly appreciated.

Also, watch Warren's videos...new banjo demos usually end with him filming the various views of the banjo, featuring the reso and neck shots.

	Ragtimejoe says: 6/1/2015 8:18:39 AM jswkinsfield, yes I was encouringing you to get a pink Hopkins. Still think it's a good idea. Penny would have one. But I need a manly looking banjo, like the one you already have.
