“My Stagg BJM30G 6-string Guitar Banjo has an excellent...”

written by bobjbrown on 07/02/2009

My Stagg BJM30G 6-string Guitar Banjo has an excellent folksy sound, that can be achieved without having to learn an entirely new instrument.

Plays like a guitar - sounds like a banjo.

Good tone.

Loud enough to work with ambient mike. This is a 6 string (guitar headstock and tuning) "bluegrass" banjo. ( I know, I know its not really a banjo , but thats what Stagg call it so I'm sticking with it)

Resonator is alloy on heavy mahogany base.

30 flat bracket hooks to hold resonator down.

11" Remo white head

6 string maple and ebony bridge. ( Ensure you put it in the right place!)

Brass machine heads, open with pearly keys.

Armrest is Nickel plated brass.

22 fret rosewood fretboard with mother of pearl inlaid markers ( I don't think its M-o-P its prob called pearlish or some such)

Banjo-heads hate them! ( This is a good point as well)

Banjo head is REMO and of good quality.

Too me the action is high and heavy, but a friend who plays conventional banjo says that its typical for the instrument.

You won't be able to practice quietly!
