Deering's B6 is indeed awesome and probably the most guitar-like of the current crop of guitar banjos.

Eastern models such as Tanglewood's TBLX6 or the equivalent Ozarks, Antorias and so on, have short scales in the region of 23" (though Dean's model is an exception). Strung as shipped, they usually sound poor. Fitted with heavy strings (13-56) they work better and can sound great for fingerstyle ragtime and such in the right hands.

If you're a guitarist with no knowledge of banjos, go to a professional for setup unless you've got the rest of your life to spare working it out for yourself. 5 strings, tenors and plectrum banjos are tricky enough to set up properly. 6 string banjo setups are the trickiest of all.
