The Gold Tone AC-Mini Banjo packs more punch than you might expect from an entry-level banjo. The rim is molded from a composite material that is strong, consistent, and durable. The nato mahogany neck features a rosewood fingerboard and (like all of our banjos) a two-way adjustable truss rod. The composite construction of our AC pot means maximum power and projection for minimum cost and weight. All of this comes at a price that ANYONE can afford. Due to the shorter scale length, using a Railroad Spike Capo might require retuning the fifth string.
