10 Reasons Why You Need a Gold Tone EBM-5 Electric Banjo

1.   The EBM-5 is a solid-body electric 5-string banjo with an 8” internal sound cavity that maintains a genuine banjo tone with acoustic volume loud enough to keep up in a jam situation
2.   Dual humbucking pickups, 2 Volume controls, 1 Tone control, and 3-Way switching allows for a wide spectrum of tonal possibilities - Put down your Mastertone and become an electrifying Tone Master
3.   Add a reverb stombpox pedal, some delay, and a tube overdrive pedal to your signal chain and instantly become the hippest dude or dudette in your band
4.   Extremely comfortable banjo to hold and a pleasure to play whether you are playing 3-finger bluegrass style, clawhammer, or a blueclaw hammergrass hybrid
5.   The EBM-5 makes a great travel banjo...
     a.  Quiet enough to play all night long in your hotel room without disturbing the neighbors
     b.  Easily fits into a wedge-style padded gigbag for lightweight transport
     c.  Doesn't necessarily look like a banjo so you can avoid the 5-string jokes while walking through the airport
     d.  Can be swung over your head and used as a weapon in case of an emergency or if the banjo jokes persist (disclaimer: may go slightly out of tune if you make direct contact)
6.   Records equally as great in your big-time recording studio sessions as it does on your home studio laptop... Just ask Winston Marshall of Mumford & Sons
7.   Mr. Bela Fleck, electric banjo extraordinaire, once said that the EBM-5 sounded too much like an acoustic banjo...  Of course we took that as a compliment!
8.   The EBM-5 comes with the standard Gold Tone Lifetime Transferable Warranty. Find more info here.
9.   For EXTREMEly loud stage volumes, Gold Tone also offers the upgraded EBM-5+ model with a padded insert under the head for increased feedback elimination... and it works quite well plugged into our Marshall fullstack!
10.   Professionally setup at the Gold Tone factory in Florida, the EBM-5 will play worlds above what you actually pay for it!
