Review: I was in the market for a beginner banjo, and really didn't know where to start. In the interests of full disclosure, I am a veteran guitar player. I used to play banjo many, many years ago, but I played it like a guitarist. This time around, I wanted to learn to play it as a banjoist, as it should be played, so for all intents and purposes I am a beginner. I don't know anyone who plays banjo, so I couldn't get any recommendations from friends or family. After considerable Internet research - a lot of which involved checking out desertcart reviews - I settled on this Jameson instrument. Many of the "name" brands in the music stores seem to start in the $250 range and go right up to the $700s and $800s, and I even saw some over $1,000. Even the $250 range was beyond my budget. In desertcart (rather than the music stores) there were instruments within my budget in the $150 - $200 range, but none of the names was familiar to me. Then again, I admit, I don't know enough about the banjo world to really know the names. Anyway, to make a long story short, I am really glad I decided on this instrument. It is a beautiful piece of workmanship, really attractive and nicely put together, and it sounds great. During my research, I had seen several reviews of other brands where people had said not to expect your banjo to arrive ready to play. You would have to install the bridge, the strings and so on. Not so with this Jameson - it arrived nicely packed and ready to play. It only needed minor tuning, which is of course understandable (for which I recommend the Snark SN-5 Tuner for Guitar, Bass and Violin , which works fine for banjo even though they don't mention that). It even included a tuning and chord chart. Note that this instrument has a (removable) resonator back, which is a bonus in this price range, since a resonator back usually hikes up the price. Another nice bonus is that Jameson provides free basic lessons on their website ([...], which links to [...]). I noticed that in the questions above, one answer said it was made in USA. However, mine was made in China. This is not an issue for me and shouldn't be for you (unless you are of the "buy-only-American" persuasion); it's a beautiful instrument regardless of where it was made. All in all, I highly recommend this banjo, especially (but not only) for beginners. It is an excellent value for a really fine instrument. Five stars without any reservations!
Review: Banjo is great! Sounds good, and for the price it couldn't be better. I've tried other low budget banjos and had to return them for such low quality. Had almost given up until I saw this one. Great first banjo!

## Features

- Premium craftsmanship: Crafted from the finest woods, with a 5-ply maple and mahogany shell, mahogany neck, closed back mahogany resonator, as well as a purpleheart fretboard, this beautiful 5-string banjo from Jameson is exceptional.
- High-end design: Jameson's banjo features a Remo Weatherking drum head, a 5/8-inch maple ebony bridge, a chrome plated armrest, an adjustable tailpiece, and truss rod. Also, designed with a removable resonator allowing you to play the banjo both open and closed back.
- Geared 5th tuner: As a 5-string banjo, this model features a 5th geared tuner side peg. This is a beneficial enhancement over the more typical friction tuners, allowing for better control of your instrument’s sound.
- Beautiful tone: The design behind this banjo and the chosen materials enable it to produce an eloquent, rich tone. It offers distinctive and beautiful sound characteristics, perfect for playing bluegrass, clawhammer, folk, country, and rock tunes.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this good for playing megadeth?**
A: I do not know what megadeth is.

**Q: A lot of beginner banjos get out of tune the higher up the frets you go. How is the tuning as you go up the neck?**
A: An instrument that begins losing its proper tuning as you progress up the neck isn't normally relative to the cost or brand of the instrument but to the position of the bridge. The exception to this being an instrument on which some of the frets were installed at a slight angle, then as you pass that fret each consecutive fret will be out of tune, but this is actually pretty rare if the instrument comes from a major supplier and wasn't handmade by a friend in the garage.
This company has a very good QC division that assures against obvious and major defects such as irregular fretting or incorrectly shaped bridges and nuts. 
I'm short, this instrument SHOULD only get out of tune the further up the neck you go if the bridge is not correctly sat. The same goes for almost all instruments made from companies big enough to sell their products through major retailers. With obvious exceptions but they're rare.

**Q: what kind of strings are on it?**
A: I'm pretty sure it's just some generic strings. They are actually pretty decent though, no real reason to change them until they get old.

**Q: Can you take the resonator off?**
A: The resonator is removable--there are 4 thumbscrews you can undo and take it off. You'll probably also have to remove the chrome hand rest before loosening the thumbscrew under it.

Excelente para principiantes. Sólo con cuerdas un poco frágiles. Estaría genial si viniera con un strap.
