SoloEtte Banjo

The SoloEtte Banjo



The SoloEtte Banjo from Wright Guitar Technology was designed to meet the needs of the traveling five string Banjo player. Rossco, owner and inventor of the SoloEtte Travel/Practice guitar, kept getting inquiries from Banjo players who were being kicked out of hotel rooms for practicing. Our Banjo is the perfect solution. Now Banjo players can practice anywhere, at any time, without disturbing their neighbors or loved ones.

The SoloEtte Banjo has 22 frets with a full set of side dots and face dots. The scale length is 25 1/2", the nut width is 1 5/32", and the string spacing at the saddle is 1 3/4". The assembled frame simulates a standard size Banjo.This instrument comes equipped with strap buttons for playing while standing. When assembled, the SoloEtte Banjo only weighs 2 pounds! During travel, the Banjo's frame disassembles to fit in a small carrying case and weighs 4 pounds. The So

The pickup is of our own design. It consists of a hollow tube with electronics and baffles inside. This tube forms the saddle. The strings vibrate the air inside the tube which gives it a nice jingle jangle sound. It is stereo for the headphone usage and can go out to a guitar amp or sound system in stereo. You can plug your computer speakers into the Banjo (the adapter jack provided) which will allow low level, personal amplification.

Body wood is Hard Rock Maple, one piece, no glue joints. Bright, clear Hard Rock Maple (Acer Saccharum) or "Canadian Maple" is a blonde hardwood that will stand up to rough treatment.

The frame is solid 1/4" aluminum rod covered w/ black polyethylene tubing. Click Here for more information!
