Description: Compact Tone for Beginner Banjoists Gold Tone hits it out of the park again with the mini version of the company’s AC banjos: the AC-Mini acoustic composite mini banjo. Though small, the AC-Mini boasts maximum power and projection through its 8-inch Remo head and durable composite rim. Thanks to its shortened body and 19.75-inch shortened scale, the AC-Mini sings with a voice that’s the best of both worlds between a ukulele and a banjo. This miniature banjo is excellent for kids and makes a great traveling companion for seasoned banjoists — or simply a foray into new banjo tone possibilities. The Gold Tone AC-Mini is tuned to standard Open G banjo tuning, which allows kids to easily graduate to normal-size banjos later. What’s more, you’ll enjoy the feel that the nato neck and rosewood fingerboard bring to fretting chords and pickin’ lines. Additional features like sealed guitar-style tuners, Gold Tone’s Sweetwater is an Authorized Gold Tone Dealer Genuine New Item Sweetwater's 2-year warranty Gold Tone AC-Mini Acoustic Composite Mini Banjo - Black 5-string Resonator Mini Banjo with Nato Neck, Composite Rim, Rosewood Fingerboard, No Knot Tailpiece, and Remo Head - Black Compact Tone for Beginner Banjoists Gold Tone hits it out of the park again with the mini version of the company’s AC banjos: the AC-Mini acoustic composite mini banjo.

What’s more, you’ll enjoy the feel that the nato neck and rosewood fingerboard bring to fretting chords and pickin’ lines. Additional features like sealed guitar-style tuners, Gold Tone’s Zero Glide nut, and No Knot tailpiece contribute to another fantastic culmination of Gold Tone engineering.Hybrid Zero Glide nut system While the Zero Glide nut system might look like a traditional zero fret at first glance, this revolutionary system combines the strengths of both a standard nut and a zero fret into one cutting-edge piece of hardware! The Zero Glide system, like a typical zero fret, replaces the takeoff point of your open string with a fret. Why? Apart from requiring far less precision cutting and setup work than a regular nut, Zero Glide reduces string contact in the nut by 93% for minimum binding and maximum tuning stability. Moreover, as the Zero Glide’s zero fret is directly embedded into the nut instead of the fingerboard, it requires no modification to swap it out with a regular nut. Highly durable 8-inch composite rim The core of the AC-Mini’s warmth comes directly from its 8-inch composite rim, giving you a mellowed-out tone that particularly suits clawhammer and old-time playing styles. Mated with that rim is a top-quality 8-inch Remo LC Frosted head complete with 10 brackets. The composite rim’s natural resistance to fluctuations in temperature and humidity means you’ll need to adjust it far less often than a traditional wooden rim — a must-have quality for banjo players seeking a rock-solid travel instrument.Slim nato neck for playing comfort Whether you’re seeking a slim neck for your student or you simply prefer a fast-feeling profile, the AC-Mini’s sleek nato neck is sure to please. Next, it’s topped with a beautiful slab of traditional rosewood for a smooth, elegant feel that’s easy on your fingers. Finally, the headstock is home to a set of guitar-style covered tuners — preferable to traditional planetary tuners for players making their way over from the 6-string.Gold Tone AC-Mini Features: A miniature version of Gold Tone’s acclaimed AC banjo series 5-string resonator banjo with standard banjo tuning Short scale at 19.75 inches Heavy-duty composite rim is extremely stable and delivers a warm, rounded-over tone Top-quality Remo LC Frosted 8-inch head Slim nato neck with a sleek rosewood fingerboard Zero Glide nut improves playability and intonation, especially on the first few frets Coordinator rod to easily adjust your setup Reliable sealed guitar-style tuners SpecificationDetail Type Acoustic String Type Steel Number of Strings 5 Body Style Resonator Color Black Finish Satin Top Material 8" Remo LC Frosted Body Material ABS Composite Neck Material Nato Fingerboard Material Rosewood Fingerboard Inlay Dots Number of Frets 20 Scale Length 19.75" Nut Material ZeroGlide Nut Width 1.25" Bridge Material Maple with Ebony Cap Tuners Sealed, Guitar-style Hardware Chrome-plated Strings Gold Tone: 0.013, 0.016, 0.022w, 0.030w, 0.013 Case Included Gig Bag RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
