Lovely instrument, let down slightly by setup.
Bob the Banjo 22.02.2022
I've been playing a 5 string banjo tuned D-G-B-E for some time so when a friend suggested getting a 6 string banjo I thought it was a great idea. I liked the look of the Goldtone and know they are generally good quality instruments so I ordered this one.
The instrument looks amazing. However, as this is, to my mind, intended for guitar players looking for a banjo sound, I was disappointed in the setup. The action was way too high and the string gauges for me were too heavy. I realise this is purely a matter of personal choice though. I removed the strings, lem-oiled the neck, It was really dry! and fitted a set of Picato 009-046 strings. I also adjusted the action down by about 2mm.
This has transformed the instrument. It's much easier to play and sounds great acoustically and amplified. On that score, The jack input was loose as was the volume control. I tightened them up and all is well. At this price point, I would have expected the set up to be spot on. However, a few hours work and it's playing and sounding great. I would recommend this to anyone. Just don't expect miracles out of the box!

Nach Modifikation authentischer Bluegrass-Sound
S. H. 28.04.2019
Als leidenschaftlicher Gitarrist wollte ich mir noch einen Banjosound in die Gitarren-Sammlung holen, ohne ein neues Instrument lernen zu müssen. Deswegen entschied ich mich für das Guitarbanjo der renommierten amerikanischen Marke. Zunächst war ich etwas enttäuscht, dass es dann mit "made in China" gekennzeichnet war. Die Verarbeitungsqualität ist (vielleicht gerade deswegen) hervorragend. Das Banjo war perfekt eingestellt und sofort bespielbar. Der Tonabnehmer bringt den Klang recht original rüber. Für Aufnahmen ist aber sicherlich eine Mikrofonabnahme zu bevorzugen. Für den Gitarristen ist das hohe Gewicht und die hohe Lautstärke zunächst gewöhnungsbedürftig . Nachdem ich die E- und A- Saite durch eine g- und h- Saite ersetzt und eine Oktave nach oben gestimmt habe, kommt das Instrument nun klanglich sehr an ein klassisches 5-Saiten-Banjo mit authentischem Bluegrass-Sound heran, die richtige Picking-Technik vorausgesetzt. Fazit : Für den Gitarristen erschließt sich eine neue Welt mit 100% Spaßfaktor.
