American bluegrass and folk music just wouldn't be what they are without the banjo. It's a really unique instrument that's made a big comeback in all kinds of genres in recent years. If you already play guitar and you'd like to stick to the chords and fingering techniques you're used to, a 6-string banjo is the perfect way to experience one for yourself. These instruments give you the look and sound of a banjo with the string layout of a guitar, making them great crossover strumboxes for adventurous guitarists or banjo players interested in diversifying with a new kind of instrument.

There are plenty of 6-string banjos to choose from here, so it's a safe bet that you can find one just right for your own style. If this is your first foray into this type of instrument, a good place to start would be with the Luna Guitars Celtic 6-String Banjo. It's built according to the philosophy behind all of Luna's instruments: high quality at a low price. Even if your budget is tight, there's a great performer waiting for you here.

On the other hand, if you're a veteran strummer looking for the best of the best, you definitely owe it to yourself to check out what Deering has to offer. The B6 6-String Banjo, for example, delivers crisp highs, good bass response and exceptional clarity with all the sweetness you'd expect from a mahogany banjo. Want the ability to plug your instrument into an amp? Take a look at the Deering Boston 6-String Acoustic-Electric Banjo. With the versatility of guitar-style tuning and built-in pickups, this banjo is ready to take on any performance.

Every instrument has its own unique character and personality, but sometimes the most amazing things happen when you bring two of those together. That's definitely the case with 6-string banjos, which combine the best elements of the guitar and banjo to create an instrument all its own. For a musician looking to try something new, there's no better way to begin.
