Gold Tone BT-1000 6-String Banjitar

Gold Tone BT-1000: 6-String Banjitar with Pickup and Bag 

The Gold Tone BT-1000 is a masterfully crafted 6-string banjitar that blends traditional banjo construction with guitar familiarity. Built with a 12" 3-ply maple rim and topped with a 12" rolled brass tone ring, this model delivers exceptional projection and resonance. The maple neck features a radiused rosewood fingerboard, dual coordinator rods, and Gold Tone’s engraved armrest, combining durability with professional-grade design elements.

Tuned like a standard guitar (EADGBE), the BT-1000 offers a rich, snappy banjo tone while remaining instantly playable for guitarists. Its larger 12" head enhances bass response, giving the instrument a fuller tonal range than traditional 11" banjos. With the SMP+ pickup installed, it projects clearly on stage or in the studio, maintaining bright trebles and dynamic resonance that improve with age and playing.

Ideal for guitarists seeking banjo tones without learning new fingerings, as well as singer-songwriters, performers, and hybrid musicians exploring new textures. The BT-1000 offers a unique combination of familiarity, versatility, and stage-ready functionality, making it a standout choice in its class.
