Gold Tone EB-5 5-string Electric Banjo: A Blend of Tradition and Innovation
Gold Tone successfully bridges the gap between banjos and electric string instruments with the EB-5, a true 5-string electric banjo. Its solid mahogany body, complemented by a Canadian maple neck and a rosewood fingerboard, produces a balanced and resonant output, remaining rich even at higher volumes and during more aggressive play. With Gold Tone's proprietary Terminator tailpiece and Zero Glide nut, your tones stay in tune, while the 8-inch custom Remo pre-tuned head enhances tuning stability and contributes to the EB-5’s unique sound. The banjo also features a stacked humbucker that accurately captures the iconic banjo twang without succumbing to feedback, making it a favorite among Americana enthusiasts.
