Gold Tone Dojo - Resophonic Banjo
The Goldtone Dojo Banjo Dobro provides a new sound opening a whole new world to 5-string banjo players. The Dojos have a full tone but are quieter and more forgiving than a bluegrass banjo when practicing. They still have good volume and the Dojo Deluxe comes free with a banjo pickup for added volume in certain situations.
With a standard 5-string banjo neck and a dobro body the Dojo is a unique and fun instrument to be part of with sustain and tones you won't find in a standard 5-string banjo.Hi Ross, I just wanted to thank you for the great deal on the Gold Tone banjo. I received it last week and absolutely love it!
