Gold Tone EB-M5 Electric Solid Body 5-String Banjo (no case)

The Gold Tone EBM-5 is a unique F-style 5-string electric banjo that looks as good as it sounds. With its lightning-fast response, this instrument allows hammer-ons, pull-offs, and slides with incredible ease. Even when unplugged, the EBM-5 produces an authentic banjo tone thanks to its hollow sound chamber.

Finished in a striking tobacco sunburst with gold hardware, the EBM-5 is as eye-catching as it is versatile. Easy-access control knobs provide smooth tone and volume adjustments, while the dual pickup system (hidden humbucker under the head and single-coil at the neck) offers a wide tonal range. The 3-way selector allows quick switching between neck, bridge, or blended pickup positions, while independent volume controls for each pickup enable seamless tone shaping.

Crafted with a mahogany F-style body, maple neck, ebony fingerboard, and snowflake inlays, the EBM-5 delivers both premium looks and superior playability. Whether you’re a newcomer or a seasoned player seeking a fresh sound, the EBM-5 adds a bold voice to any arsenal. Also available in a left-handed version.
