New Lame Horse - Jenkins & Son Instruments Gitjo - Six-string Banjo Banjo

The Gitjo was made to offer guitarist a chance to make that banjo twang. The six string banjo is not a new concept, however this Lame Horse Gitjo is full of style and has a sound everyone loves. The tone ring is crafted from superbly figured Bubinga and Negre with a lovely Diamond pattern ring. The multi piece neck meets the body via a thick brass plate that add wonderful sustain and power. This is a really fun instrument that will give you a whole other sound on stage, in the studio or on your front porch. From Blues to Old Time to Celtic you'll love having this in your arsenal.

Dream Guitars Player's Review:
"Every guitarist should have one of these, it's so much fun. I love playing blues on this little beast and it's offers a wonderful color for recordings, jams and bands. Stand out at your next jam with that barbaric twang." - Paul Heumiller

"These are fun to play for any guitarist who wants to sound like a banjo without having to learn a new instrument." - Al Petteway

Another Satisfied Dream Guitars Customer:
"I felt compelled to update you on my Sinker Redwood/African Blackwood Crescendo (Al Petteway Signature model). I have been playing it exclusively for 3 months now. I started out in DADGAD and then switched to Standard tuning. At this point I still find myself amazed at this instrument. After a couple weeks in Standard, it really started to open up. At times it sounds like I am playing with amplification - the projection is almost startling. Yet even with that projection, the tonal quality persists - there is absolutely no hint of breaking up - and I can get pretty heavy-fingered at times." - DS
