The Recording King RK-ELITE-76 The Elite Hearts & Flowers carries one of the most beloved inlay traditions in bluegrass history across its fretboard and peghead, rendered in mother-of-pearl. Beneath the ornamentation sits the same uncompromising build as the rest of the Elite line: a one-piece mahogany resonator, true steam-bent 3-ply maple rim and Mastertone-style tone ring for real pre-war projection and sustain.
The bound ebony fretboard wears the custom Hearts and Flowers mother-of-pearl inlay, while Gotoh planetary tuners with a geared 5th peg hold tuning steady. A bone nut, Presto-style tailpiece and 5/8″ maple/ebony bridge complete a professional-grade build, and a vintage-style hardshell case is included.
