The Gold Tone AC-5+1 and AC-5+1S are unique takes on the classic 5-string banjo, adding an extra low G string for a richer range and fresh creative possibilities. Built for adventurous players, these models allow you to explore new voicings while retaining familiar banjo playability.
Both feature a lightweight composite rim, durable chrome hardware, and a 12" Remo LC Renaissance head for warm, resonant tone. The AC-5+1 offers a compact, nimble 18-fret neck tuned gGDGBD, while the AC-5+1S extends to 22 frets with tuning gGDGDB for an alternate tonal layout.
Perfect for expanding your musical toolkit without a big investment, each comes with a padded gig bag and professional setup.
