A great option for guitarists looking to expand their tonal palette, Tuned like a standard guitar, Deering's versatile 6-string Phoenix acoustic-electric banjo offers brilliant highs via the piezo pickup and warm midrange from the Kavanjo magnetic pickup. The tone is adjustable with the blender control to dial in the right mix.  Acoustic tone is powered by the violin maple rim, no heavy tone ring.  Hard case included.
