I just received my first Yates banjo, a Torrefied mahogany banjo, it's simply amazing. I have a Huber, Deering, Heartland, and a pre-war Style 3 conversion, and I can honestly say with no disrespect to the other builders, but Warren has taken things to a whole new level.

Also, some come with a Presto tailpiece while others come with a Skillet Head tailpiece. I notice yours is a Skillet Head. Is that a choice thing? Why would you choose one over the other...tonewise? I currently own a mahogany Ron Stewart model but would love to one day make a trip to Warren's and compare it to a RS(B)-75. Love to hear Ron play them back to back. Again, congratulations.
