A "premium" guitar-banjo designed for modern playing
This 6-string guitar-banjo was designed to combine the ergonomics of a guitar (familiar neck and tuning) with the crisp and snappy attack of a resonator banjo. Within the range, it stands out with performance-oriented lutherie (numerous tension rods, double coordinator rod) and a high-end presentation, ideal for both stage and recording.
For which musician and styles?
It is aimed at beginner, intermediate, or advanced guitarists who want to add a banjo color without changing their fingerings. Perfect for bluegrass, country, and folk, it also works very well in pop and studio contexts for percussive, bright rhythms that are very clear in the mix.
The sound
The Remo Weatherking white sanded head promotes a clear attack, lots of definition, and a typical "snap." The mahogany body provides a rounder low-midrange, while the flamed maple resonator enhances forward projection to increase volume and presence. The 24 tension rods allow fine adjustment of head tension (thus brightness and response), and the 2 coordinator rods help stabilize the whole to maintain consistent setup over time. The maple bridge with hardwood inlays efficiently transmits vibrations, for controlled sustain and a clear, lively, and very expressive tone in picking.
Recommended compatible accessories
For comfortable use, a 6-string guitar capo and a clip-on tuner are simple and universal choices. For playing, consider some plectrums (from flexible to rigid) to explore different attacks, from crisp strumming to more articulated picking.
