Gold Tone ES-Banjitar
Solid Body Electric Banjo Guitar with gigbag
Inventory # *457
When I took this instrument to the Folk Fest, it was the hit of my booth! Unfortunately, no one came prepared with the money to buy it that weekend. But it was complimented by fest goers and festival performers alike! Some big names played this instrument and really loved the sound and the feel! I will shine it up for you! But it sounds and plays great and is seriously the best of the guitar and the banjo world in one handy, unique instrument! There may be a few pick marks on the front from fest play, but they are minor and I will try to buff them out before sending it to you! But they are minor and will save you a whole lot of money! **This is Folk Fest Stock! I offered these instruments at an outdoor music festival and they were played and enjoyed but Fest-goers, but I was very careful to make sure they were taken care of and not abused. This was a booth tucked away, so most of these instruments were not over-ly played. But the cool thing is, anything that did not sell there, I am selling here at a discount due to them being played at a Fest! That being said, most of these do not have any more wear above and beyond what instruments normally get while hanging on the wall at the local music shop. I will inspect, quality check, and play every instrument before it goes out to make sure you are getting a top-notch quality product! I just wanted to make sure you were aware why these are discounted! **This particular model will most likely need new strings soon due to the oxidation of steel strings. But they still have some good play in then and I would much rather you pick out your favorite strings and give you a discount on the instrument!
From the Gold Tone Website:Following the success of the Gold Tone Banjitar line, requests were made for an on-stage solid body 6-string played like a guitar. The ES-Banjitar, like a normal banjo, has extremely fast response compared to a regular electric. Hammer-ons, pull-offs, and slides are accomplished with incredible ease. Even unplugged, the ES-Banjitar banjo guitar has an excellent banjo tone due to the hollow sound chamber within the body. This instrument is great for country music, blues, jazz, or any style where a banjo tone is desired without the need for learning the traditional 5-string banjo. Only a few years ago, a 6-string banjo would have been considered a 'cheater' banjo for guitarists, but today it is well accepted as its own instruments and you will hear the 6-string banjo in many genres of popular music!The ES-Banjitar features an 8" tone ring and banjo head, dual pickup configuration with a stacked humbucker in the neck position and a hidden humbucking pickup beneath the banjo head in the bridge position, volume and tone controls, Straightline tailpiece, mahogany body, maple neck with bound rosewood fingerboard, and low string action. The ES-Banjitar has a scale length of 25-1/2" and uses standard ball-end guitar strings. Final assembly and complete setup performed at the Gold Tone Factory in Florida. Mass produced ukuleles come with "factory settings". There is no time to set the uke up for the individual buyer. Often they err on the side of high-action (strings are high over the fretboard) . I take personal time with each uke I sell. All ukes get a nut and saddle adjustment. They are also checked for fret buzzes, intonation problems, and other issues that can be resolved in the set-up process. The action is lowered to an ideal and comfortable level. You can feel the difference between a non-set up uke and a uke that has been through the "Mim Set Up Process". I have repeat customers world-wide because I have worked hard to have the reputation that a uke from Mim is going to be "right". The set-up process can cost a lot through your local luthier and often they do not know the specifics that go into a good uke set-up. I only sell ukuleles, so my set-ups are custom tailored to your uke, the brand of uke you purchase, and the uke size. If you need a uke set-up Low G, or Lefty, let me know. I can do that for you... no charge! I set up the uke for YOU the buyer and ukulele player!
