The Songster is Recording King's entry bluegrass banjo. A rolled brass tone ring gives it a sharp attack and a bright tone that carries in a jam, and the resonator pushes the sound out front.

It has planetary tuners, a bound rosewood fingerboard with heart-shaped position markers and a mother-of-pearl peghead inlay.
