We're very excited to receive our first instrument from Chris & Jeremy Jenkins - aka Lame Horse Instruments - and even more so that it is their iconic Gitjo model. As the name suggests, this is a cross between a banjo and a guitar, with six strings tuned in standard guitar tuning, but with the body construction of a 12" open-back banjo. If you’ve always wanted to play a banjo but didn’t want to learn a whole new instrument, the Gitjo is the answer This particular Gitjo has a 23" scale length, which provides a more intimate-feeling instrument than previous Gitjo builds. The American Red bird’s eye maple guitar neck is incredibly comfortable, and the slotted headstock is a great rustic inclusion. Decoratively, the Gitjo has tasteful appointments including a mother of pearl magnetic truss rod cover and a black pearl covered tailpiece. The Gitjo includes a Crossrock fibreglass case. 12" mahogany rim 23" guitar scale length Hard American red bird’s eye maple neck with slotted headstock, with truss rod and carbon fibre reinforcement 23” scale length Crossrock Fiberglass Case
