Banjos

Bright, charming sound and a rich history – the banjo is a staple of folk, country and bluegrass music. Originally developed from Afro-Caribbean instruments, it has evolved into a beloved part of American and global music traditions.

From the classic twang of bluegrass to folk-inspired contemporary styles, a banjo can bring a charismatic and colourful sound to your music. Used by modern pop sensations like Mumford and Sons or Taylor Swift, the banjo feels at home both on stadium tours and in the deep country. The classic banjo is five-stringed, while 4 or 6-string versions are sometimes used for different tunings.

Our range features excellent models from Epiphone who offer both open-back and resonator designs to suit different tones and playing styles. Open-back banjos have a distinctly brash, percussive sound, while closed-back versions offer a warmer, more mellow tone.

A great addition to any musician’s collection, banjos deliver character, charm and unmistakable sound. Take a look at our selection and bring that iconic banjo twang to your music.
