Tuned like a standard guitar from E to E, it gives you the familiar feel of a six-string instrument with the bright attack and projection of a resonator banjo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of Tanglewood’s \u003cstrong\u003eUnion Series\u003c\/strong\u003e, the TWB18M6 combines a maple resonator and sides with a Remo ivory head, brass tone ring and maple neck, making it a great fit for folk, country, bluegrass, roots and studio players looking to add banjo texture without switching instruments completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGuitar Tuning, Banjo Character\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe big advantage of the TWB18M6 is that it uses standard guitar tuning: \u003cstrong\u003eE, A, D, G, B, E\u003c\/strong\u003e. That means guitarists can use their existing chord shapes, scales and picking techniques while getting the bright, percussive sound of a banjo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMaple Resonator \u0026amp; Brass Tone Ring\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe maple resonator and maple sides give the instrument plenty of projection and clarity, while the \u003cstrong\u003ebrass tone ring\u003c\/strong\u003e helps add definition and attack. It has the snap you expect from a banjo, but with the fuller chord voicings of a six-string guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRemo Ivory Head\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003eRemo Mate Ivory\u003c\/strong\u003e head provides a responsive playing surface with a slightly warmer character than a brighter clear-style head. It helps balance the attack of the maple construction with a little extra body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFamiliar Neck Feel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe maple neck uses a comfortable D-profile, a \u003cstrong\u003e43mm nut width\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003e665mm scale length\u003c\/strong\u003e.
