Gold Tone EBM-5 Electric Banjo
The Gold Tone EBM-5 Electric Banjo is a masterfully crafted F-style banjo that seamlessly blends traditional banjo tone with the versatility of an electric instrument. Handcrafted from solid mahogany for the body with a maple top and an ebony fingerboard, it features snowflake inlays and a high-gloss tobacco sunburst finish with gold hardware. The hollow sound chamber preserves the natural banjo tone acoustically, while the dual-pickup system expands sonic possibilities for stage and studio performance.
Tonally, the EBM-5 excels with its hidden humbucker under the head and stacked humbucker at the neck, controlled via a 3-way selector, two independent volume knobs, and a master tone knob. The 8" Remo MC Smooth head over an aluminum tone ring provides bright, focused projection with fast attack, perfect for hammer-ons, pull-offs, and slides. Its dynamic response develops beautifully over time, giving players a rich palette of expressive tonal colors.
Ideal for intermediate to professional banjoists, stage performers, and crossover musicians, the EBM-5 stands out as a hybrid instrument that combines traditional craftsmanship with modern electric flexibility. Its F-style design, fast-play neck, and responsive setup make it perfect for exploring contemporary banjo styles while maintaining classic tonal clarity.
