A few words about this list
Ariana SB 10G 6 string banjo
Ariana is the name Aria uses for their budget models. This banjo-guitar is similar to the Aria SB 100G but with a slightly simpler quality. It's a good alternative for a guitarist who needs "banjo sound" on a low budget, but if you want to play the banjo.guitar seriously, you really should invest in a better instrument. Features a Remo head, mahogany resonator and neck, rosewood fingerboard and bridge and chrome hardware.
    Hondo 6-String Guitar Banjo
    "Mahogany neck and resonator. Rosewood fingerboard. Maple bridge. 30 brackets. Chrome/pearloid hardware. Remo head. Mahogany finish."

    This instrument is also sold under the Lotus brand name.

      Aria SB 100G Guitar-banjo
      Aria has always been known for making great instruments at relatively low prices, and their SB 100G guitar-banjo is no exception. If you're planning to play the guitar-banjo seriously - not just as a "show instrument" - this should probably be your first banjo.

      Features a Remo head, mahogany resonator and neck, rosewood fingerboard and bridge and chrome hardware. Comes with a Aria's limited lifetime warranty.

        Dean Backwoods 6 Guitar-banjo
        "Tuned and played like a guitar, but sounds like a Banjo! Constructed with attention to detail the Backwoods 3, 5, 6, and 7 are a notably solid line of banjos with very appealing prices. Reminiscent of their fore fathers from the 30's the Backwoods present a bright tone with a traditional look."
          Kay Banjo guitar (6 string banjo)
          "6 String Banjo Guitar from Kay with beautiful wooden resonator. Great sound and looks for the price."
            Ashbury YHB300-6 Guitar Banjo
            "6 string, cast metal rim, with inlaid neck, 11" head and 14" resonator."
              Lotus Banjo guitar (6 string banjo)
              Lotus makes a series of budget-priced banjos with reasonably high quality. Their guitar-banjo model isn't very different from their standard banjos and eatures a Mahogany resonator, Remo head, 24 tension rods, a Mahogany neck, Rosewood finger board, Maple bridge, Chrome hardware, and a Mahogany finish.

              Apollo's Axes used to sell this, but they've changed to the identical instrument from Hondo instead.
