The J Line
The J line is cause for 'jubilation' here at Cedar Mtn. Banjos. We are very happy with our most basic J-100, our upgraded J-200, and the J-300 with our rosewood 'tone rim'. These models are available with 11" or 12" pots. They are an extraordinary value. All of the CMB inlay options listed on the price page are available on these models.
