Gold Tone AC-5+1S Maple Neck Acoustic Composite 6-String Banjo with Scoop and Gig Bag

At Gold Tone, we understand that there are several offbeat instruments that lots of players would like to have in their arsenal. Our discontinued six-string Lojo (a five-string banjo with an added low G string) was cool, but some folks didn’t want to invest a lot of money in an instrument that might see only occasional use. Now, any picker who wants to delve into the musical possibilities of a six-string can afford to do just that.

The AC-5+1 is a real “six-string five-string” for the curious player on a budget. This is the kind of thing that teases and entices the picker down new roads of playing and composition. Like all of our AC-series banjos, it features a durable and lively-sounding composite rim and resonator for long life and consistent tone. The 5+1 is your standard five-string tuning (GDGBD) plus one (low g or gGDGBD). Adventure awaits!
