MATON BG808 - 2007 - PRE-LOVED with Maton Deluxe Case

Oz Guitars say of this instrument: "We cannot overstate the power and the punch of the BG808 Series. Within the smaller shape lies a mighty bass response and a focussed projection, ideally suited for the recording studio."

D.P. HOPKINS "WOODIE" CONVERTIBLE - NEW - Sold

For those who have got past the 'heavy is better' theory,
this little banjo is an absolute delight! I say 'little' because although its dimensions are standard, it weighs less than most bluegrass banjos of this quality and price. (Air travellers take note!)

Block construction Tony Pass submerged woods rim is cunningly shaped to continue the rim into a tone-ring. There's nothing whimpy about the sound coming out of THIS banjo! Keep the head tensioned and listen to the excellent response across the whole tonal range.

There are thousands of banjos advertised every day.  Where do you start?  How do you avoid a rip-off?  If you’re buying ‘by remote’ who can you trust to pick out a diamond, not a lemon?  Ever been to a jam and had the “which one’s mine” confusion?  If pride of ownership is important, then look here for a quality instrument you won’t /find by the dozen in Australia/meet on the next corner. Tell us what you’re looking for! It’s a big wide world of banjos out there… we have a network of contacts to help locate the banjo you’re dreaming of. Fingerstyle takes pride in recommending the right banjo for your requirements and budget.
