This affordable 12" Banjitar is designed for guitarists who want to explore banjo tones without learning new fingerings. Tuned EADGBE like a standard guitar, it plays instantly familiar while delivering the snap and projection of a banjo. The larger 12" 3-ply maple rim paired with a rolled brass tone ring gives this model an extended bass response not found in typical 11" banjos, making it a standout for fuller tonal range.
It comes with an onboard SMP+ pickup for easy amplification, a gig bag, and professional features like a radiused rosewood fingerboard, dual coordinator rods, and Gold Tone’s engraved armrest.
