A fun, affordable hybrid for folkternative lovers.
Pickers can't get enough of Gold Tone banjo-ukes, like the left-handed BU-1/L. The BU-1/L is an openback concert-scale instrument and one of the only banjo-ukes at this affordable a price to come with a factory-installed pickup for easy amplification. It also has an 8" maple pot crowned with a genuine Remo Fiberskyn head, hard maple neck, graceful vintage-style tailpiece, and Gold Tone's patented Zero Glide nut. The BU/L comes with a padded gig bag.
