Durable and lightweight 5-string open-back banjo for beginning players or travel.
The Gold Tone AC-1 5-string open-back banjo pack provides an accessible entry into the world of banjo playing. With its composite rim and neck, the AC-1 weighs under 4lb., ideal for travel and hours of comfortable playing. Despite its portability, the AC-1 produces a rich, resonating tone that belies its affordable price. The complete banjo package includes everything needed to start playing right away, from strap and picks to tools, and an instruction manual with videos. An eco-friendly gig bag crafted of recycled materials protects your investment while reducing environmental impact.
Resonant Tone From a Composite Rim
The AC-1's composite rim and open back design provide a natural, resonating tone sought after in banjos. Superior to other beginner banjos, the AC-1's tone and playability inspire practice and mastery. Its lightweight composite components enable full, ringing notes across the fretboard that project well for casual playing at home or performing for others.
Neck and Frets Optimized for New Players
The AC-1's slim neck facilitates comfortable playing for small or novice hands. Its setup guides and instructional videos teach proper hand positioning and technique to develop good habits early on. The AC-1's beginner-friendly design and included resources enable new players to achieve rewarding results within the first practice sessions.
Includes All Necessary Accessories
From picks and a strap to tools for adjustments, the AC-1 banjo package provides everything needed to start playing. Rather than purchasing accessories separately, new players can open the case and begin learning straight away. The included gig bag, crafted of recycled materials, protects the banjo during transport and storage between practice sessions while reducing environmental impact.
Portable Size for Life's Adventures
The lightweight AC-1 banjo travels easily to campouts, beach trips and mountain getaways. Its compact size fits neatly in small spaces, ready to inspire songs and jam sessions wherever the road leads. Despite its portable, eco-friendly design, the AC-1 banjo delivers a full, vibrant tone for casual playing or impromptu performances on life's adventures.
