Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The Dojo DLX is a five-string acoustic-electric resonator banjo in GDGBD tuning. A maple neck, planetary tuners, and 22-fret fingerboard retain a familiar banjo-oriented layout, while the cutaway flamed-maple body gives access beyond the usual neck position. Its biscuit-cone resonator works with a straightline tailpiece, and the stacked humbucking pickup beneath the neck provides an onboard amplified option for stage use.
