Gold Tone BU-1 Concert Banjo Ukulele w/ Pickup
Introducing the Gold Tone BU-1 Concert Banjo Ukulele with Pickup, a harmonious blend of craftsmanship and innovation. This open-back concert-scale beauty stands out as the sole banjo uke in its price range, featuring a factory-installed pickup for effortless amplification. The eight-inch maple pot, adorned with a genuine Remo Fiberskyn head, gracefully complements the hard maple neck and vintage-style tailpiece.

The details shine with a satin vintage mahogany finish, rosewood fingerboard, and Grover-style tuners. Immerse yourself in the vintage charm of the ABS creme binding, 12 brackets, and metal buttons. The Hot Dot Pickup, vintage gold tone tailpiece, and Remo Fiberskyn LC head contribute to the distinctive tone. With 18 frets, a concert scale, and professional setup by Uke Republic, this masterpiece is a mere 2lbs 12oz. Strum confidently, as this BU-1 is tuned to GCEA with .023 .030 .036 .025 strings.
