A fast way for anyone to start playing, you will be impressed by the quality and sound from this 6 string banjo. Beautiful wood grains on mahogany and the nickel plated arm rest are features usually found on much more expensive models. It has never been so affordable to own a quality six string banjo! Review: My first banjo, so it took a while to get it setup how I like it and this is a fantastic little instrument! The setup is involved in the grooves on the bridge piece and positioning it on the snare head. Plenty of videos to show you how to do this on regular banjos. There is no learning curve other than setup for guitarists if you play in standard tuning (EADGBE). The action was a bit high, but when I grooved the bridge deeper (the low E kept popping off under tension) with a file, it has lowered it to where it is comfortable. Most of the stuff you are going to play is under the 12th fret, and it sounds great for playing fast picked chords. If you want to emulate the sound of a real banjo, then use the Open G tuning (DGDGBD) and the only difference is that the low G (5th String) is an octave lower than on a banjo. The head on this is a Remo and the brackets are well put together and not cheap pot metal. The tuners are smooth and the frets are comfortable, though I always prefer larger jumbo or extra jumbo frets, but most acoustic instruments are low to medium and this is in that range. The volume is exceptional and the tone sounds great for a lead sound cutting through the mix in a song. Having played several banjos in the music store that cost considerably more than this, it sounds as good or better to my ears. If you enjoy open chord fingerpicking or playing fast picked licks, this is a great instrument. Bluesy sounds and power chords are not going to sound very good though. I love this instrument for Irish/Scottish tunes! This instrument is a spectacular deal and is very well made with a solid wood back and quality metal brackets. Review: Love it, having a lot of fun with it....Whish it could have been electric. Great banjo sound...Need instruction on how to adjust tension on resonator... Good price for quality.... ## Features - Tunes & Plays Like A Guitar - Sounds Like A Banjo - New 6 String Banjo by Jameson Guitar Company - Maple Neck and Mahogany Resonator - 24 Bracket & Diecast Enclosed Tuners - Top Selling Banjo - Customer Favorite - Ships Fast ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B009FKHV62 | | Back Material Type | Mahogany | | Body Material Type | Mahogany | | Brand Name | Jameson Guitars | | Color | Brown | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (353) | | Finish Type | Polished | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00670541168110 | | Hand Orientation | right | | Included Components | Nickel plated arm rest, 24 Bracket & Diecast Enclosed Tuners | | Instrument | Banjo | | Instrument Size | One Size | | Item Dimensions | 8.9 x 8.9 x 99.1 centimeters | | Item Weight | 2.68 kg | | Manufacturer | Jameson Guitars | | Manufacturer Part Number | 6 STRING BANJO | | Material Type | Mahogany, Maple | | Model Name | BJ-006 | | Model Number | 6 STRING BANJO | | Number of Strings | 6 | | Operation Mode | acoustic | | Set Name | 6 | | String Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Top Material Type | Maple | | UPC | 670541168110 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Jameson Guitars - **Colour:** Brown - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 8.9 x 8.9 x 99.1 centimeters - **Size:** One Size - **Top material type:** Maple ## Images ![Jameson Guitars 6 String Banjo with Closed Back Resonator and 24 Brackets - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71N+1IC0TaL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: One question: when we play "Dueling Banjos"... are we supposed to play the banjo or guitar part? ;D** A: It's pretty hard to play the banjo part on one of these, since that's written for a 5-string. But it's possible, especially if you're used to picking acoustic lead guitar. Ordinarily you'd play the guitar part on this one. Hope this helps. :-) Paul Race, Creek Don't Rise **Q: How long is the banjo from head top to body bottom? Will it fit in most standard banjo cases?** A: Other reviews stated that a standard case was too small for it so I followed another reviewers suggestion here and bought a case from Amazon. The Carrion C-2901 Fretted Resonator Banjo Case. It fits perfectly in it. **Q: is the nut 1 5/8"** A: The Nut is 1 11/16" Distance from string to string is 1 3/8 which makes it very similar to epiphone guitars. I had a Rogue which had a much narrower neck and was hard to do fancy picking on. This is way more like a guitar, as far as your left hand is concerned. Paul Race - Creek Don't Rise **Q: Where does the strap connect?** A: I had a friend that does leather work make me a "cradle" strap for my banjos. The strap is run under the head clamps all the way around the body of the banjo giving much better support than just using two connection points. I have an Irish Tenor banjo that is heavy, this Jameson 6 string is not nearly as heavy, so a banjo strap with two clips may be fine. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by G***Y on 12 January 2015* My first banjo, so it took a while to get it setup how I like it and this is a fantastic little instrument!
