Added 2023-04-07 13:00:01 +0000 UTC
Instrument maker A.C. Fairbanks partnered with professional banjoist W.A. Cole in 1880. Fairbanks was responsible for most of their technical innovations, while the Cole handled brand promotion. Their partnership ended when the two formed separate companies around 1890.

V neck may take some getting used to. I like them.
