Easy for Guitarists! - My first banjo, so it took a while to get it setup how I like it and this is a fantastic little instrument! The setup is involved in the grooves on the bridge piece and positioning it on the snare head. Plenty of videos to show you how to do this on regular banjos. There is no learning curve other than setup for guitarists if you play in standard tuning (EADGBE). The action was a bit high, but when I grooved the bridge deeper (the low E kept popping off under tension) with a file, it has lowered it to where it is comfortable. Most of the stuff you are going to play is under the 12th fret, and it sounds great for playing fast picked chords. If you want to emulate the sound of a real banjo, then use the Open G tuning (DGDGBD) and the only difference is that the low G (5th String) is an octave lower than on a banjo. The head on this is a Remo and the brackets are well put together and not cheap pot metal. The tuners are smooth and the frets are comfortable, though I always prefer larger jumbo or extra jumbo frets, but most acoustic instruments are low to medium and this is in that range. The volume is exceptional and the tone sounds great for a lead sound cutting through the mix in a song. Having played several banjos in the music store that cost considerably more than this, it sounds as good or better to my ears. If you enjoy open chord fingerpicking or playing fast picked licks, this is a great instrument. Bluesy sounds and power chords are not going to sound very good though. I love this instrument for Irish/Scottish tunes! This instrument is a spectacular deal and is very well made with a solid wood back and quality metal brackets. Review: Fantastic Bargain for a Beautiful 6 String Banjo - Mix Wholesale does a GREAT job getting items shipped safely and quickly. I wrote another review earlier and gave only 4 stars because I had to pay $28.50 to return a 5 string banjo; however, I immediately reordered this 6 string banjo and it arrived 4 days early and it is a beautiful instrument to look at as well as play. I am an 83 yr. Old retired music and guitar teacher and I was fully expecting to have to do a complete set up on my new 6 string Jameson banjo. To my great surprise, it is pretty well set up right out of the box. The craftsmanship is fantastic, especially for an instrument under $200. Older reviews I had read and seen on You Tube made me think it was a much poorer instrument! Mix Wholesale is doing a great job putting these instrument of such quality and fair price on desertcart. Thanks to them, and thanks to Jameson for producing a quality instrument at such an affordable price!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! ## Features - 6-String banjo: This 6-string banjo is tuned similarly to a standard guitar and is perfect for those who want to cross over from playing the guitar to the banjo.

But it's possible, especially if you're used to picking acoustic lead guitar. Ordinarily you'd play the guitar part on this one. Hope this helps. :-) Paul Race, Creek Don't Rise **Q: How long is the banjo from head top to body bottom? Will it fit in most standard banjo cases?** A: Other reviews stated that a standard case was too small for it so I followed another reviewers suggestion here and bought a case from Amazon. The Carrion C-2901 Fretted Resonator Banjo Case. It fits perfectly in it. **Q: is the nut 1 5/8"** A: The Nut is 1 11/16" Distance from string to string is 1 3/8 which makes it very similar to epiphone guitars. I had a Rogue which had a much narrower neck and was hard to do fancy picking on. This is way more like a guitar, as far as your left hand is concerned. Paul Race - Creek Don't Rise **Q: Where does the strap connect?** A: I had a friend that does leather work make me a "cradle" strap for my banjos. The strap is run under the head clamps all the way around the body of the banjo giving much better support than just using two connection points. I have an Irish Tenor banjo that is heavy, this Jameson 6 string is not nearly as heavy, so a banjo strap with two clips may be fine. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Instrument that is playable, fun and cuts through the mix!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A banjitar is fun *by M***G on December 5, 2016* Years ago a friend found an old family heirloom Banjitar that was in bad shape, and asked me to take it to a luthier for restoration. When It was done I had the opportunity to play it for a while before returning it to it's rightful owner. I enjoyed it, and thought about getting one of my own from time to time. The R.W.Jameson banjitar is the least expensive instrument of that type that I have come across. That is a little worrisome because usually you get what you pay for, but I took the chance and I'm glad I did. The Jameson Banjitar is not the most refined instrument, but it was better than I expected. When it arrived, I adjusted the bridge using the harmonics, and tuned it up with a clip on tuner. The scale length is somewhat longer than I expected, approximately 26 and 3/16". The nut is approximately 1 and 11/16" wide. The neck on mine will need a little strut rod tweak, the action is a little high, the fret ends are not smooth which I notice when moving my hand on the neck. The hardware all looks good, and the mahogany on the resonator back is impressive. It was strung with what appear to be ordinary 11 - 52 phosphor bronze acoustic guitar strings. All in all it looks better and is more playable than I expected at this price. It was louder than all get out, and blaring. The only adjustment I have made so far is a wadded up Kleenex stuffed under the strings between the bridge and the tail piece. That cleaned up the sound quite a bit. I bought a banjo Strap: (Neotech 5701002 Super Banjo Strap) With the strap attached to the existing "strap hooks" on the banjo body it is very top heavy. I plan to add a "strap hook" to the heel of the neck to improve the balance. I also bought a case: (Carrion C-2901 Black Hardshell 5-string Resonator Banjo Case) The case fits, but the bottom is flat and doesn't support the resonator as well as I think it should, so I took the Styrofoam ring from the box that the banjitar came in, and put it on the bottom of the case. Maybe I'll cover that with felt some day. I was at a loss for songs to play on the banjitar at first. But after a while "Mr. Bojangles", "Thunder Road", and "Freight train" just started to sound right on the banjitar. Sooner or later I'll get around to adjusting it and getting better strings, but in the mean time it's a blast to play. ## Frequently Bought Together - Jameson Guitars 6-String Banjo Guitar with Closed Back Resonator and 24 Brackets - rayzm Banjo Embroidery, Jacquard Woven Cotton Banjo Strap with Metal Clip Hooks, Width 5 cm, Adjustable Length - Shappy 6 Pcs Banjo Finger Picks Set Stainless Steel Adjustable Finger and Thumb Picks for Guitar(Silver, Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/2649924-6-string-banjo-guitar-with-closed-back-resonator-and-24](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/2649924-6-string-banjo-guitar-with-closed-back-resonator-and-24) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-06-14*
