Gitjo

As the name suggests, this is a cross between a banjo and a guitar, with six strings tuned in standard guitar tuning, but with the body construction of a 12" open-back banjo. If you’ve always wanted to play a banjo but didn’t want to learn a whole new instrument, the Gitjo is the answer

This particular Gitjo has a 23" scale length, which provides a more intimate-feeling instrument than previous Gitjo builds. The American Red bird’s eye maple guitar neck is incredibly comfortable, and the slotted headstock is a great rustic inclusion.

Decoratively, the Gitjo has tasteful appointments including a mother of pearl magnetic truss rod cover and a black pearl covered tailpiece. The Gitjo includes a Crossrock fibreglass case.
