Gold Tone GT-500 Acoustic-electric Resonator Banjitar - Natural
The GT-500 Acoustic-electric Resonator Banjitar from Gold Tone pairs banjo twang with the familiar feel of a guitar so that 6-string players can scratch the banjo itch with no learning curve whatsoever! The GT-500 Banjitar is tuned like a guitar. Complete with 21 frets and a slick rosewood fingerboard, its range surpasses the average banjo, but players will find authentic banjo components at every turn. A maple neck, rim, and resonator fuel loud, bright, and clear tonal character shaped to perfection by a Remo head, a bone nut, and a steel alloy tone ring. The onboard SMP pickup lets players quickly plug into amplification and interfaces, which makes the GT-500 more than suitable for gig work and recording. Sweetwater guitarists enjoy using the GT-500 for twangy auxiliary plucks and accented strums, but it’s beyond also worthy as a primary instrument. In particular, the rosewood fingerboard’s radiused build offers outstanding tapered comfort built for serious range so that ambitious players can explore upper and lower frets with gusto.
