Specialty Banjos

For lack of a better title, we have called this category specialty banjos and includes instruments that are typically a hybrid of a banjo and another instrument. For example, the Dojo is a banjo neck on a dobro body, the banjola is a banjo neck on a mandola body, and the electric banjo has a banjo neck, on a stratocaster body with a small banjo head built in. For the banjo player looking for a truly unique souns and playing experience, there is a specialty banjo waiting for you here!
