The GT-500 is one of the most sought-after 6-string banjitars in its class, crafted specifically by guitar players for guitar players. Featuring a maple rim, resonator, and neck with a radiused rosewood fingerboard, it combines the look and feel of a banjo with the familiar tuning of a guitar.
This model delivers a killer acoustic tone, while the unique Gold Tone SMP Sliding Magnetic Pickup provides powerful, full-range amplified sound—from the low E to the top string. With traditional styling, snowflake inlays, and natural high-gloss finish, the GT-500 is equally at home on stage or in the studio. Available as a left-handed model.
Best For
Guitarists who want to achieve banjo-like tone without learning new fingerings, and performers needing a stage-ready banjitar with premium amplified capabilities.
