----------

The BG-175F delivers that classic Mastertone^® bluegrass tone in a lightweight, comfortable package suited for players on any stage. Built around an 11" multi-ply maple rim and a rolled brass flat bar tone ring, this banjo produces a clear, focused sound with strong note separation and balanced projection—ideal for traditional bluegrass styles.

A mahogany neck and resonator contribute warmth and depth, while the flat flange design keeps the overall weight at just 8.5 lbs. The vintage Flying Eagle inlay pattern, high-gloss Vintage Brown finish, and nickel-plated hardware give the BG-175F a timeless look rooted in classic banjo tradition.

Player-friendly details include a ZeroGlide nut for consistent intonation, GT planetary tuners for reliable tuning stability, and a Presto tailpiece to complete the traditional setup. Whether you’re stepping into your first Mastertone^® banjo or looking for a dependable instrument for stage and jam sessions, the BG-175F offers tone, feel, and visual appeal in one complete package.
