Cool!

The knobs and switch look right; hard to tell about the pickups though.  Guessing Volume, Filter, and Pickup Selector Switch.

I don't know anything about this kind of instrument, other than seeing Bela Fleck use his from time to time.

I've got a hunch Forest could help to explain this:

Oft-heard joke around here:

'Whaddya call 50 banjos at the bottom of Old Hickory Lake?  A good start !'

THIS needs to be taken out to the Marianas Trench.  He used it to 'experiment with funky sounds on the banjo' ?  I thought it was bad enough when EMG announced their bespoke banjo pickup (!!!!), but this . . . . . this . . . . . . this . . . . . . . (wherein our commenter began flailing himself and humbled himself with sack-cloth and ashes.  It's alright, the tremors will pass . . . . . . . )

Giggled myself to sleep thinking about this one... I believe this is one of your neighbors down there in th' 'Ville Joey!



Hey, if you're gonna' play an electric banjo, it might as well be an Alembicized one!

And another banjo joke:

Definition of perfect pitch - throwing an accordian into a dumpster where it lands on a banjo.

Bill, tgo

(I'm sure an Alembic pickup is actually the best, but...)

What kind of pickup is the best to put on a banjo?

An F-150.
