Customer Reviews
I already have a custom 6 string banjo that a friend and I put together over 20 years ago and wouldn't part with for any amount of money. It has a Fender Tele neck with exceptionally low action, sounds like a million dollars and is my favorite instrument to play. That said, being high strung, I'm unable to play a solo on the high strings, so I thought I would like to get another with more conventional strings. Enter this Jameson 6-String Banjo.I read all the other reviews, a summary of which is that while it's quality construction, it needs a total professional setup. When I received it yesterday, the cardboard box was badly torn, partially crushed and I expected it to be toally destroyed. Happily, somehow it was undamaged and I took it to the luthier this morning, who confirmed both the quality and the need for a total setup.Knowing your way around stringed instruments is one thing, but being a professional with over fifty years experience is quite another. I watched him work on it for two hours and I concur with other reviewers that unless you're an experienced professional, don't try to DIY.BOTTOM LINE: Fit and finish, excellent. Components, excellent, including the tuners. Sound as received, TERRIBLE!. Installed 9-42 cryogenic electric guitar strings which, as hoped, were a huge improvement both in the sound and playability. Comes with a 5/8" bridge, which is too high My guy says it needs a 1/2" bridge and we're trying to find a compensated one.So, should you buy it? As long as you're willing to spend the time and effort to buy different strings and a bridge AND have it professionally set up, ABSOLUTELY BUY IT ! It will then compare favorably with the most expensive ones on the market and you will have saved yourself many hundreds of dollars. You're welcome.
