EBM-5

 

The Gold Tone EBM-5 is a unique F-style 5-string electric banjo that looks as good as it sounds. The EBM-5, like a normal banjo, has an extremely fast response allowing hammer-ons, pull-offs, and slides to be accomplished with incredible ease. Even unplugged, this electric banjo has an excellent banjo tone due to the hollow sound chamber within the body.  The two-tone tobacco sunburst is pleasantly set off by the gold hardware.  It has easy to reach control knobs for quick tone and volume changes.  This model features a dual pickup design with a hidden humbucking pickup under head and a single coil pickup at neck position.  Other features include a mahogany "F-style" body, ebony fingerboard with snowflake inlays, an 8" banjo head and tone ring, and a Straightline tailpiece.  Whether you are new to the banjo or want to add a new sound to your existing arsenal, the EBM-5 may be just what you are looking for!
