SKU: AC-1

Product Description

Durable, lightweight, and affordable, the Gold Tone AC-1 is the ideal banjo for beginners. The AC-1 is made from a durable composite rim with black ABS binding and features an open back design which mellows the tone. This makes for rugged design that's great for younger players as they don't need to be too careful with it, or as a travel option that can hold up to life on the road. Another beginner friendly feature is the slim profile neck which won't get in the way of your playing, even in younger players' hands. The AC-1 also features chrome plated hardware, black tuners and zero glide nut, and comes with a gig bag.

Mr David Allison1st Feb 2022

For a first banjo this is good. It is robust, plays well and is set up very nicely. My son, who is a very good and experienced drummer, is impressed by the head and the sound of this instrument. I would have given it 5 stars but for the fact that the finger board is rather dry (a few drops of lemon oil should sort that out) and the gig bag is oversized and has no padding.
