New banjolele day! It arrived just before we left for the TBUS Christmas party and jam yesterday. It's loud! It has planetary tuners, and the last shot is of the pickup. Getting the bridge located correctly is a learning curve....

Wow Nickie! That looks great, much better in your close-up pics than other photos I've seen.

Congrats and I hope it brings you lots of joy

Thanks for sharing!

That IS nice. I was quite tempted to order one of those back during the initial low price offering (something like ~$275 shipped?), and now I sort of wish I had. Enjoy!

Thanks guys, it's a blast. I was noodling on it when the Prez of TBUS showed up to pick up our Toys For Tots donations (one of our programs) and he liked it.
besley, have you visited the website? That price might still be good. If it isn't, the new price is still worth it, IMO.

The price now is $379, going to an eventual street price of ~ $440 (according to their web site). Sure like the size of it. I tried a Good Time banjo uke, but was put off by just how large their pots were.
