DeeringGoodtime Left-Handed 6-String Acoustic-Electric Resonator Banjo
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Designed for left-handed players, this six-string acoustic-electric resonator banjo combines E-A-D-G-B-E tuning with a fully passive Kavanjo banjo pickup. Its 1/4-inch output accepts a standard guitar cable, so it can be routed to pedals, an amp, or a PA. The resonator sits behind an 11-inch three-ply violin-grade maple rim and directs sound forward, a practical setup for bigger stages while keeping a guitar-derived approach available on banjo.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stage rigs that run a banjo through pedals, a guitar amp, or a PA.

Consider the trade-offs
