A few words about this list
Gold Tone Cripple Creek Banjitar
When it comes to banjos Gold Tone has everything! Usually their instruments offer a very nice price/quality ratio too.

Features a brass tone ring, bound fingerboard, maple neck and resonator, double corrdinator rods, shoe style lugs, and straight line tailpiece.

    Tyler Mountain TMG-60 guitar-banjo
    Tyler Mountain are mass-produced Korean banjos at a bit too high prices. Even if you can save a lot buying one at eBay, both Aria and Gold Tone (to name but two brands) have better offers for you.
      Gold Tone Banjitar: Lightweight
      When it comes to banjos Gold Tone has everything, even this special light weight guitar-banjo that doesn't weigh more than a standard guitar!

      Overall it's a nice six-stringed banjo with maple rim, maple neck, and optional slim line resonator are combined with high quality chrome plated hardware.
        Most important: unlike cheaper guitar-banjos the BT-1000 has a 12" pot. Standard 11" banjo pots really doesn't uit the six-stringer well, so this is a significant difference.

        Gold Tone Banjitar
        "With its raw and full, yet open sound, the GT-500 may well be the ultimate acoustic blues banjo.

        Maple rim, maple resonator, maple neck and a rosewood radiused fingerboard. It comes with a built-in Gold Tone SMP pick-up. This model has excellent acoustic volume and good sustain."

            Gold Tone Banjitar
            A more luxurious version of the Gold Tone GT-500, the GT-750 has a special tonering offering a loud, but smooth tone with plenty of sustain. The sound is a bit more "guitar-like" than most banjo-guitars. For some that will be an advantage while others might prefer the GT-500.
