Goldtone GT500 Banjitar Rosewood 6 String Banjo Excellent acoustic volume and good sustain , This is our original banjitar. This model is exactly like the GT-750 except uses a steel tone ring (instead of brass) and a plain maple resonator (instead of curl) Springsteen bought two of these for his 2007 European solo tour! The GT-500 6 string for guitar players is traditionally styled with a maple rim, maple resonator, maple neck and a rosewood radiused fingerboard. The unique Gold Tone SMP pick-up accenuates the bass notes and provides piercing banjo-style treble. This model has excellent acoustic volume and good sustain.
