I saw a nice almost charcoal sunburst one. I didn't plug it in, but played it briefly, It sounded okay. Does anyone have any thoughts on the run? Any good? Any troubles?
I bought a nice one for $800 about 7 yrs ago. I initially loved it's sound (very unique), but the longer I had it the more I found I couldn't appreciate the Banjolin sound. I felt it was a museum...
A couple years back I bought a 6 string Yamaha Guitalele for ~$75. I loved it. It was tuned like a guitar capoed on the 5th fret. The strings couldn't handle the tension on the frets and the strings...
