    Dean Guitars Backwoods 6 BanjoPublié le 03/03/12 à 15:25

    This is a six string banjo which is tuned E A D G B E, like a standard guitar. It is designed for guitar players who like the sound of a banjo but don't want to go through learning how to play in the different tuning. This banjo has a mahogany neck with 25 inch scale, a mahogany body, an 11 inch head, 22 frets, and Grover tuners.

    UTILIZATION

    I wish I had good things to say about this "guitanjo", but I just don't. It was a nice idea on paper - after all, the guitar and banjo are two fretted, stringed instruments, right? How different can they be? Well, any guitarist who has tried to pick a banjo (or vice versa) has discovered right away that the answer is "extremely different".

    So getting the banjo sound into a guitar configuration is a good idea, but this Backwoods Banjo is just poorly made, all around. The neck had a huge bow in it, the fret edges were sharp, and the nut slots were improperly carved. All these problems mean that the guitar was just not fun to play or tune.

    SOUNDS

    It sounds fairly banjo-like. But the sound is of a cheap banjo. I am by no means a good banjo player, but I do teach in a store with one of the world's top banjo players, and I hear his instrument, and his many student's instruments, and I can tell a great difference in their tonal qualities. This Dean was on the low end of the ladder in sound quality, unfortunately.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Bottom line - this is just not a good instrument. If the craftsmanship had more attention to detail, and the woods were made of a higher quality, I'm sure the story I'd be telling right now would be different. But this is about as good as an abused pawn shop special that's been sitting in the shop for years - that is to say, bad! This instrument is so terrible that I am actually recommending anyone to check it out, just to have a gauge on the lower end of the scale.

    The Dean Guitars Backwoods 6 String Banjo, or git-jo as it's known, is a unique instrument that combines that sound of a banjo with the make up of a guitar. This isn't the highest quality 6 string banjo out there that I've played, as to me this is a pretty cheap instrument. Not too many companies make 6 string banjos, but I've got a custom Carlo Robelli at home that I like a good deal more than this one. I don't know where this instrument is manufactured, but I'm sure it's overseas somewhere. It's strictly an acoustic instrument, so it's doesn't have any electronics.

    UTILIZATION

    The overall feel of the Dean Guitars Backwoods 6 String Banjo isn't the best in my opinion. It's playable, but for me the action didn't feel great and it wasn't the easiest instrument to play overall. It's got the same make up as a guitar, so it's a nice way for guitarists to get the sound of a banjo without having to actually learn how to play one, but I'm just not a big fan of the playability on this one...

    SOUNDS

    The Dean Guitars Backwoods 6 String Banjo certainly sounds like a real banjo, just not the best sounding banjo in the world. Most will certainly mistake this for a true 5 string banjo, but again I don't think it's the best sounding quality wise. There's not much that can be done to change that either, as you pretty much get what you get with this. It is pretty cheap so I guess I can't do too much complaining, but as far as 6 string banjos go, it's definitely toward the bottom of the list in terms of sound quality amongst the few that I've played.

    OVERALL OPINION

    While the Dean Guitars Backwoods 6 String Banjo is a super cheap way to get into the world of git-jos, banj-itars, or whichever name suits your fancy, I do think that they could have done better with this one. I've only just played the instrument a few times, but it's enough to know that it's not an instrument I'd recommend getting. I'd do a bit more research as there's other 6 string banjos out there that shouldn't cost too much more and will be of a much higher quality...
