Looking for an intersection of plucky folk sound, amplified capability, and an accessible price point? Look no further than the Oscar Schmidt OB5 5-String Electric Banjo. Crafted on a foundation of a nato neck, mahogany resonator, and multi-inlay rosewood fretboard, the beautiful construction suggests an instrument of a much higher price at a value tag beginners can get their hands on. With the addition of onboard electronics for easy transfer from porch picking to stage playing, the OB5 offers an excellent introduction to the five-string realm.
