This banjo’s 11-inch composite rim and Remo LC Frosted head produce a warm, woody thump that serves as a fitting entryway in Celtic banjo music, and the AC-4 IT can also be tuned with standard tenor banjo strings to admirably tackle ragtime jazz and old-time music.

Lastly, you get a top-end hardware configuration, including a slick Zero Glide nut, adjustable coordinator rod, and covered guitar-style tuners.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 11-inch composite rim The core of the AC-4 IT’s warmth comes directly from its 11-inch composite rim, giving you a mellowed and plunky tone that’s ideal for ragtime jazz and Celtic music. Mated with that rim is a top-quality 11-inch Remo LC Frosted head, complete with 16 brackets and an adjustable coordinator rod to perfectly dial in your preferred setup. Best of all, while the AC-4 IT certainly boasts plenty of adjustability, 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-4 IT’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-4 IT Acoustic Composite 4-string Open-back Irish Tenor Banjo Features: 4-string Irish tenor banjo in a 22.75-inch scale length — perfect for players eager to explore the world of Celtic music Comes equipped with a slightly heavier set of strings than a regular tenor banjo, allowing the banjo to be tuned to GDAE tuning Heavy-duty composite rim is extremely stable and delivers a warm, rounded-over tone Top-quality Remo LC frosted 11-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 covered guitar-style tuners SpecificationDetail Type Acoustic String Type Steel Number of Strings 4 Body Style Open Back Color Black Finish Satin Top Material 11" Remo LC Smooth Body Material Composite Neck Material Nato Fingerboard Material Rosewood Fingerboard Inlay Dots Number of Frets 19 Scale Length 22.75" Nut Material ZeroGlide Nut Width 1.19" Bridge Material Maple Tuners Covered Hardware Chrome Strings .040w, .030w, .020w, .010 Case Included Gig Bag RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
