Deliverance meets Dire Straits! This is one of the coolest things. It sounds like a banjo yet is setup and plays like a guitar. It's very loud unplugged and it's the acoustic tone that resembles a banjo. You can still get that twang when plugged in but the folksy character is a bit more subdued. Still a great piece for any musician's arsenal because you never know when you'll have to full in for a banjo player in a pinch! Finished in all-black with smoked chrome hardware including Grover tuners. There's a single humbucker pickup underneath the head with is wired to a volume control because that's all you need here. Comes with the original Dean hard case.
