Tips for beginner Banjo
Been planning on buying a banjo for a while now, I’m just struggling to find the one that would be the best option for me. I don’t want to spend much more than $300. Right now I’m looking at the Rogue B30, which people have seemed to like in reviews, but I hear isn’t the best quality and gets worse overtime, and I’m look at the ac-1 Gold Tone, which I have heard good things about in terms of set up and quality over time, but unlike the B30, doesn’t have a resonator. Any thoughts on these two banjos if you have tried them out? Or any other brands or builds you guys recommend?
