Nice! Dude have fun with it!

Heck yeah, Golds Tone makes great stuff for the money! Love to hear folks are ripping these 6-string banjos out in the world!

Dude did not know that about Django. So cool, I’ll have to look that photo up. Makes sense!

@@kostringworks He’s one of my guitar heroes, I have an old acoustic archtop from the mid ‘50s made in the style of the Selmer he played, it has a round sound hole which makes it less collectible but more affordable, it’s a treasure. The top is eight strips of spruce and according to the seller the neck is from pear wood. There was a large community of Sicilian luthiers building those guitars, Busato being the most desirable. This one was made for a retail store and isn’t identified but the luthier who rebuilt it thinks it’s a Buccolo. Too much information, sorry. I just found your channel. I have an LG-2 from the mid 50’s too, needs a neck reset but is very cool. I also have a really old L&H Arion parlor guitar. It was gut stringed but someone in the 60s or 70s put steel strings on and bent the neck. A local luthier reset the neck and rebraced it for steel strings and it sounds great.

Ha nice 💪

Well you still have a couple weeks til new years 😂

Dude nice! I’ve actually never tried that tuning on a guitar even. I’ll have to give it a go!

Thanks!! Glad ya dug it!

Thanks! Gonna try to sell off reverb for now, but I could see how that be confusing!

@@kostringworks I get it, but I didn’t see it on Reverb

Didn’t know that about RJ! Good mahogany in those cigar boxes.

@@kostringworks Up Jumped The Devil by Conforth and Wardlow.

It's great! It's actually up for sale currently if you're looking!

Fair! One thing to consider is volume or not, nothing comes close to the tone of a 6-string banjo. So sometimes is comes down to that. Have fun with the 5!!

Here's a suggestion. A short-scale 6-string can be tuned like the standard G tuning on the 5-string. That means that there is a G thumb string that goes right down to the nut. That can be fretted at the low frets, making the instrument more versatile than the regular 5-string. I sent that suggestion to Gold Tone, but don't think I ever got a reply.

Love gretsch! Banjo ukes rule!

Absolutely, I’ve always held the opinion that cheap banjos made the best banjos. Merry Xmas to you too bud! Appreciate ya!

That's exactly what he talks about in the video 😂

@@redbeardshomestead Yep, takes us back to that Good Old Fashioned Dixieland Jazz Era

That would def do the trick!

@@kostringworks A Terminator Tailpiece.

Hey Dave! Sorry these KZfaq comments get so easily lost in the fray. The banjo is still for sale. Someone almost bought so I took it down it but they've since lost touch. If you're still interested, head over to my website and fill out that inquiry form and we can chat from there!

Nice! What are those running these days? This used to be mumblin’ Drew’s but he just got a vintage Vega 6 string (which is absolutely amazing) so he’s moving some stuff. I was shocked to see how cheap these go for.

I think they’re around 800? I put a K&K banjo pickup in it but it rings out so bad on the treble side it hurts my ears. I like playing it with this jug band group I mess around with.

@@nathanfrazermusic haha dang. My favorite banjo “pickup” is a 57 strapped in the pot!

@@kostringworks Here in Seattle, a Deering Goodtime is about $500-600 pretty sure at Dusty Strings. Super cool they rent them for $1 day (well, $30 o month) and the rental money will go towards a purchase of a new one if you want. I love them, amazing "cheap(er)" banjos for sure.

😂 it is a ganjo isn’t it.

Bro go listen to some Keith urban

There's a bit of a learning curve to it. You can't pick it up and play it like a guitar or a banjo and expect it to shine. Strumming sounds horrible and claw hammer style is a little too bright and loud. I like to play it with a little bit of a palm mute alternating between strumming and picking styles.
