A solid investment if you want to explore your sound

Nice peace well packed I enjoy it

just for messing around

I mainly play guitar and own a 5 string banjo, but wanted something with banjo tone that I could easily work through guitar chords with, so I won't have to re-learn songs for rhythm accompaniment with others in my jam group. This banjitar fits the bill perfectly. It does require setup upon arrival. Go ahead and remove the strings it comes with, oil the frets and put on your patient pants while initiating set up. I now have the action exactly how I want it ... and it stays relatively in tune day to day! That is not always typical for instruments with floating bridges. It's a well constructed instrument, and in my opinion worth the money.

Because most folk I play with are guitar players. I've always added different things to play And now play over 8 And tried the 5 & 4 string Bango but to meny years on guitar It just didn't work. Just got this 6 string Bango and in 4 days I can cover 10 songs For under $300. For me I'd even be happy to pay more. It's that much fun Be a good person. Kindness is all that is needed!

First of all, this banjo is great for the price. If you don't have a problem with adjusting the bridge and truss rod (not to difficult) this is an amazing instrument. It is primarily tuned in open G tuning or simply tuned like a guitar. I'm an experienced guitar player, so picking up the dean backwoods 6 was a breeze. There is a bit of a learning curve, as this isn?t a guitar, but if you know your guitar chords well enough you just have learn a bit about rolls and other technique. I love the Grover tuners on this banjo, and they provide amazing ease when tuning. The only downside of the banjo itself is the strap hooks. If you use a regular clip on banjo strap the metal will come off. i avoided this by simply using some string to connect the clip to the hook. The BW6 does take a bit of setting up, for when I received the banjo intonation was terrible. The octave played at the 11th fret. I fixed this by loosening the strings and moving the bridge back about an inch until intonation was correct. I also lowered the action a bit by means of the truss rod, but that was merely out of preference. This thing looks amazing too, especially on the back of the resonator. You won?t be disappointed with this buy.
