Great wee banjo, I’m no expert but it’s super easy to play, surprisingly resonant considering its open back and was set up really well by the staff before being shipped.

I purchased a Gold Tone AC-12 banjo and I’m over the moon with both the quality of my new banjo and the customer service and communication by Eagle Music throughout the shipping process; with Matt emailing me promptly after I ordered to inform me that there would be a slight delay in shipping due to them waiting to receive my order from their supplier. Upon receiving the instrument, the set up provided was second to none and my banjo was ready to play after unboxing (minus me having to tweak the tuning from open G to Double C, which was no fault of Eagle Music) being a definite upgrade from my previous banjo!

I already own a Gold Tone CC100R, but wanted a lighter, more mellow banjo as I am learning frailing style. I didn't want waste money on a very cheap instrument, and wanted something light, robust and not too precious. When I first picked up the AC-12, I was a little bit disappointed at how rough in texture the neck felt. I was of course comparing it to the CC100R and my Maton and Stonebridge guitars which I handle daily. This was obviously not a fair comparison and having owned and played the banjo for a couple of weeks now, I no longer notice it. The sound and feel of the banjo are just what I was after and I am very pleased with my purchase. It stays in tune well and is inexpensive enough to take out and about without worry.
