got one of these 2nd hand for a good low price off ebay..
even including shipping and import tax from US to UK,
it was still a bargain and much cheaper than buying from
one of the few UK stockists/retailers..


Banjitar Lightweight (BT-1000)

http://www.goldtone.com/products/pages/bt-1000.asp


well built sturdy instrument.. plays great

and sounds pretty good acoustic..

the interior electrics look a bit fragile

which makes me wonder if mine is a factory fitted example

or a previous owner DIY upgrade using Goldtone accessory pickup kit..

and its built in concealed magnetic pickup
sounds good and clear enough 'banjo tone'

and well punkfolk grunged up when plugged into distortion channel of a marshall amp
