The EBM-5 is a unique F-style electric banjo that blends classic banjo response with the tonal versatility of an electric guitar. Its fast attack and responsiveness make hammer-ons, pull-offs, and slides effortless, while its hollow sound chamber produces an authentic banjo tone even when played unplugged.
Finished in a striking tobacco sunburst with gold hardware, the EBM-5 is as eye-catching as it is functional. The dual-pickup design (hidden humbucker under the head and single-coil at the neck) offers a wide tonal range, controlled by a 3-way selector switch, two independent volume knobs, and a master tone knob. Players can easily blend or switch between pickups to craft their sound. With its mahogany F-style body, ebony fingerboard with snowflake inlays, and 8" Remo head over an aluminum tone ring, the EBM-5 is both visually and sonically distinct.
Best For
Intermediate to professional players who want to expand their tonal arsenal, stage performers, and crossover musicians looking for a banjo with electric flexibility.
