Here we have an Eastwood Banjotar Electric Banjo in Black for Sale!
This one suffered some damage to the headstock in transit. The damage is cosmetic only and will ship ready to play!
"In 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.
The Eastwood Banjotar is our love letter to that overlooked 5-string oddity.
The 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!"
