Overview

Versatile long neck banjo ideal for a starting instrument.

The Gold Tone AC-1 long neck banjo sets the bar for an economical, well-made, great-sounding and durable beginner banjo. A superior-sounding composite rim mated to a slim, playable neck, produces a banjo that weighs less than 4 lb. The AC-1 is the perfect choice for beginners, travel use or for a young player's first banjo. With a matching black neck and rim, plus Zero Glide nut and tuner buttons, the AC-1 is professionally set up in Gold Tone's Florida shop. Add a Resonator for even more versatility.
