Review for "Doc Fossey Guitar for the 5-String Banjo Player"
Doc Fossey Guitar for the 5-String Banjo Player I've been an artist endorser and dealer since Doc Fossey began these around 2006. They are really fun to play and offer a great sound alternative to a 5-string banjo. Call me - Ross 866-322-6567. I enjoy talking banjos.Here is a quick demo of the Doc Fossey Guitar Banjo which is a Guitar body with a 5-string neck and tuned like a Banjo. I had a student visiting from Australia and she took the video. She also took the Doc Fossey home, fell in love with it. She loved the tone and found it in her words "more forgiving". She was able to easily pull a pleasing smooth tone out of it right away.

A very nice instrument, my favorite "guitanjo"
0 of 0 people found the following review helpfulI purchased mine from Ross several years ago. It still looks and plays very well, and has a pleasing sound with sustain. The finish and purfling detail (even on the back) is eye-catching. Its a welcome bridge between the banjo and guitar worlds- great for finger-picking, finger-style, and strumming. It is the instrument I prefer to use when I want to play something smooth and relaxing, but it has more than enough bite and punch for upbeat stuff too. The Doc Fossey opens up new world of musical possibilities that don't quite fit with a regular banjo (imagine "Dust in the wind", "Stairway to heaven", "Wish you were here", "Fire and rain") . Another funny thing; compared to my banjos, people don't seem to mind at all when I practice in the next room with this instrument (although it might just be my playing)... ;)
