{"product_id":"eastwood-banjotar","title":"Eastwood Banjotar Electric Banjo","description":"\u003ch5\u003eStory\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"636\" data-start=\"309\"\u003eIn the early 1960s, a small Japanese brand called Winston (built by Kawai) quietly released a banjo-guitar that most of you have probably never heard of. Some people noticed the 6-string version, but almost nobody noticed the 5-string. It was rarer, stranger, and destined to become the kind of instrument you only hear about from someone who knows a guy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"705\" data-start=\"638\"\u003eThe Eastwood Banjotar is our love letter to that overlooked 5-string oddity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"967\" data-start=\"707\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe Banjotar plays with the feel and tuning of a true 5-string banjo, but its voice sits somewhere else entirely. There’s a quick attack and percussive edge, softened by an electric-leaning warmth that gives notes room to bloom. It’s responsive, a little unruly, and proudly niche. Pick it clean, drive it hard, or let it hover in between: it meets you there every time!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Specs\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"features\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"features\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Mahogany, Tone Chambered\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickups: 2x Warren Ellis Blade Single Coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitching: Individual on-off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: 1 Volume, 1 Tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Custom 5-String S-Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Maple, Bolt-on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: Rosewood, Block Markers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25 1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth at the Nut: 1 5\/16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: Kluson Style Nickel\/Chrome\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning: gDGBD\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"#technical-specs\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFULL TECH SPECS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCase Fit\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"features\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePremium Soft Case:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eStandard Guitar\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #808080;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/eastwood-dlx-gig-bag\" style=\"color: #808080; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eOptional Add-On\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/eastwoodguitars.sbs\/collections\/cases\/products\/eastwood-hardshell-case-1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #808080; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MRG Series","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":41946594803797,"sku":"3560","price":649.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1621\/5363\/files\/banjo1.jpg?v=1781889374","url":"https:\/\/eastwoodguitars.sbs\/products\/eastwood-banjotar","provider":"Eastwood Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
