Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built as a left-handed 6-string banjo guitar, the BT-1000 keeps EADGBE tuning while using a 12-inch banjitar format. Its 12-inch, 3-ply maple rim is paired with a 12-inch rolled brass tone ring and is described as extending the bass range beyond a typical 11-inch rim. The natural-gloss instrument has a maple neck, 21 frets, sealed guitar-style tuners, and a supplied gig bag. It is a direct option for guitarists seeking this banjo-guitar configuration.
