Gold ToneEBM-5 Electric Solidbody 5-String Banjo For Left Hand Players Sunburst
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Designed for left-handed players, Gold Tone’s EBM-5 is a five-string electric banjo with an F-style mahogany body, hollow sound chamber, and an 8-inch banjo head with aluminum tone ring. A humbucker sits below the head at the bridge, joined by a neck-position pickup. The three-way selector chooses neck, bridge, or both. In the combined setting, the two pickup-volume knobs can blend their levels; a master tone knob completes the control set. Reachable controls support quick changes while playing.
