2.0 out of 5 stars a nice looking banjo guitar, but essentially unplayable, August 26, 2006

This review is from: Guitar Banjos

This is a nicely constructed banjo guitar, however the tuners make it essentially unplayable. All of Lark in the mornings banjo's (I have owned 3) come with the same tuners, wich are set to a very low ratio. By this I mean that it takes very, very little movement to change the tuning of the string, so its very easy to overshoot your correct note. On the banjo's it was not as much of a problem, however, on the 6 string guitar banjo it makes it untunable.

I give this instrument a 2 star rating instead of a 1 star rating on the assumption that replacing all 6 tuning machines would essentially make the instrument playable. However - you should never have to do this with an instrument that costs 250$+.
