As if anyone needs to make a banjo louder? Haha.

I am looking to add an electric banjo to my kit. I am playing pedal steel and banjo mostly, and switching back and fourth. I would like to have a banjo that I could run through my effects and PF100 amp. Looking for something to get me pretty close to an acoustic banjo tone. Anything out there?

Thanks!
-Avery

Not a lot of people know about them but I've been very satisfied with my Dean GS-B5-TSB Gran Sport Solid-Body. Not too much $ used either.

John, I had not heard of that model before. I am going to check that out, that may be an option for me. The SG style body is definitely interesting!

Greg, I sent you a private message.

Thanks everyone for the responses!
