Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The Boston 6-String gives a guitar-tuned, six-string format a bright, powerful banjo voice from its rolled steel rim. A satin-finish mahogany neck and resonator sit alongside bright nickel-plated metal hardware. Its fully adjustable truss rod lets you fine-tune string action. For amplified work, the humbucking Kavanjo pickup operates without batteries, works with guitar amps, acoustic amps, and PAs, and is compatible with effects and volume pedals. The pickup is described as having little to no effect on the acoustic sound.
