Huber Lancaster Custom submitted 7/18/2008 Submitter lestermatt (see all reviews from this person) Where Purchased Private collector Year Purchased 2008 Price Paid under3000 ($US) (bought USED) Sound I like hard driving Early Bluegrass and this Banjo brings the tone home for me, I can feel it as much as hear it.Deep dry growly lows and great bells up top and the middle is loud with perfect action that wont slow you down Sound Rating 10 Setup I made a minor truss rod adjustement to cure a bow buzz ,otherwise nothing Setup Rating 10 Appearance This Lancaster is special in that it's got a solid curly maple resonator (you can see the curly on the inside too!) with a sunburst stain ,Mahogony neck and flawless inlays Appearance Rating 10 Reliability I'd say it is highly reliable Reliability Rating 10 Customer Service A new Huber is warrantied for life to the original owner ,as the second owner I dont know what if any warranty is offered.However Ive worked with Steve in the past and can say he is very generous with his time ,Jim too! Customer Service 10 Components I think Huber has thought of everything, nothing cheap,nothing compromised Components Rating 10 Overall Comments Im very vocal about the instruments i have played and have played some great ones including 2 original flathed pre-wars and several fantastic conversions(one used to be Steves)and this ones my favorite post war Banjo.I just wish other folks would discover the wonderfull world of Huber banjos .At last my search is over! Overall Rating 10
