Hand-made "Don't Tread On Me" One-String Acoustic Canjo / Tin Can Banjo with Reclaimed Wood Neck
This is a one-string acoustic canjo, offered under the American Canjo Company(tm) brand by C. B. Gitty. These instruments are hand-made in the C. B. Gitty workshops in New Hampshire, USA. They are fun and easy to play, well-made and look great - all at a great price. This model features a bright yellow label with the well-known Gadsen Flag "Don't Tread On Me" motif, a piece of United States patriotic symbolism that dates back to the Revolutionary War. We also include a free 2-page "How-to-Play" guide by C. B. Gitty, along with two picks and a spare string! This instrument is fretted diatonically, which means that all of the "in between" notes are left out - so it is almost impossible to hit a "wrong" note on it. It puts out a great twangy sound, perfect for practicing or back porch pickin'. These canjos feature beautiful Spanish cedar necks and an unwound plain steel string of .012" or .013" gauge. The special metal cans are labeled with a custom-designed automotive-grade vinyl American Canjo Company label. The frets used on the neck are nickel-silver "Medium" frets. Overall Length: 27 3/4" Scale Length: 24 1/2" Fretting: Diatonic Can Size: 5.5" Long x 2.5" Diameter; Please note that these reclaimed wood necks very often will have markings left over from their previous life such as nail holes, dents and other such features.
