    • @gabehirshfeld8688
      @gabehirshfeld8688 4 дні тому

      I think that they would, but you would most likely have to widen the slots at he nut and bridge to accommodate the width. I had some nylgut on a different gold tone open back I had a few years back and it was great.

    • @gabehirshfeld8688
      @gabehirshfeld8688 14 днів тому

      It depends on what electronics you need in the instrument, but if you need something like Midi pickups a Nechville would be your best bet, though they're pretty pricey. If you simply just need any electric banjo, Gold Tone makes a pretty good one that is reasonably priced.

    Your selection choices go way down if you have toe-thumbs lol. Been using deeming propik larges I had to unwrap and re-wrap so at times they loosen up. but I recently found a place in Columbus Ohio, The Bluegrass Music Shop, that had a giant bin of thumb picks and actually had extra larges. Had to dig for them but came up with about three different kinds; two different dunlops and one recording king. I like the recording king best. My point is, if you got fat thumbs, your options go way down.

    I think in a band setting the clamshell would cut through better, but the presto has such a sweet sound. Very cool to be able to switch tailpieces and get such a different tone.

    I think the Presto is more "open-sounding" (if words could describe tone). That would be my preference.

    I just picked up an AC1, and it’s great! I’ve played mando, guitar and bass for 35+ years and this instrument truly is everything you say it is! I love it! I’ve always wanted to learn clawhammer style banjo, and this instrument’s easy playability and great sound will keep me interested, I’m sure.
