Rock-n-roll with your 5-string! The Patented Deering Crossfire Electric Banjo plays with the power of an electric guitar and the sound of a banjo. Made in USA. The Patented Deering Crossfire Electric Banjo plays with the power of an electric guitar and the sound of a banjo. This is the most powerful banjo available and makes the banjo player an equal with any instrument or group, electric or acoustic, without the feedback problems associated with amplifying acoustic instruments. In addition to being completely unique in the music industry and only available from Deering Banjos, this is a superb stage instrument.
The two active magnetic pickups provide a wide frequency response to reproduce a powerful sound. One pickup is under the bridge and the other is under the strings near the neck.
The maple and ebony bridge has strips of metal on the bottom to capture the sound of the vibrating head as well as the strings for a penetrating banjo sound.
There are tone and volume controls on the banjo body as well as a three way select switch that controls which pickup is being used as well as a selection for the two to play together. This also gives the player control while on stage or even in the middle of a performance.
The functioning banjo head and brass tone ring make this a truly electric banjo, not a solid body guitar with five strings. The standard size 11 inch head is easily adjustable through the back of the banjo by tightening 24 brackets.
The neck is slender with a low profile for fast accurate fingering and comfortable for large and small hands. The ebony fingerboard is polished to a slick, fast, surface.
The neck is made of hard, rock maple and finished with a high gloss finish that has a smooth and fast feel as well as having a striking contrast to the high gloss black body.
The two way adjustable truss rod provides precision adjustment to maintain superb playability without buzzing.
The Crossfire banjo can be played un-amplified almost silently which makes practicing at night or while traveling in hotel rooms practical and enjoyable. (Or, practicing with amplified headphones allows the player to play with volume privately.)
The body mounted jack allows the player to plug in with the same ease of an electric guitar and uses any high quality electric guitar cord.
Note: Our banjos are individually inspected, set up and tuned by the banjo.com staff in Georgia. We are banjo players, so we set them up the way we want to play them! Each banjo is in tune when we carefully pack it for shipment. Climate conditions and travel will affect the tuning, so it may need to be fine-tuned before playing. |
