does it make your guitar sound like a banjo

No, it doesn't. A guitar capo increases the key you're playing in one half step for every fret higher you move it.E -> F on the first fret orE -> F# on the second fretThe higher up you move the capo, the brighter and more 'tinny' the sound of your guitar becomes, and on the higher registers one might be able to compare the sound to a ukulele, however I wouldn't say that it would make your guitar sound like a banjo.

I think so... Its like a small classical guitar. Also its like an ukulele- both of which have the lower 3 strings as steel and the upper 3 nylon.

Some of the sounds are nothing like the real thing. Banjo? Not realistic at all. But hey, this is not an $800 keyboard.

Not really. You just have to keep re-tuning. This is normal when you have new strings or in our case when you have a toddler fiddling with it constantly

I use it on guitars but it is supposed to be multi-instrumental. You will have to know what you want your strings tuned to.

Yes, but it is out of tune. If you have a remotely musical ear, this "xylophone" will drive you crazy.

It's good for both. I have one in a banjo and another in my octave mandolin. I run both through a pre-amp before running into the sound board.

I do not know for sure, but I'd recommend light strings to further emulate a real banjo.

The Artist pickup works great on Banjo's, Ukes, and such. It puts out good solid tone with a good volume level. Hope you enjoy it!!!! Dean

Yes, if the banjo has a resonator back. If it is an open back banjo, then no.

On my guitar phosphor bronze strings sound too twangy (too bright and metallic) and are very noisy when sliding. I put a set of Ernie Ball "Silk & Steel Soft" on it and I have been amazed at the difference, the tone is mellow and there is little to no noise when sliding up the strings. If you play folk / soft rock these strings are great.

Yes. When I bought mine on Amazon, it came with the banjo already strung. You just need to buy finger picks.

Yes, it does. No extra strings, though, and you have to tune it every few times you play it.

Yes it does, but I advise against buying it, its not a good quality music instrument. It is as cheap as its price. Trust me on this.

Yes. It plays like a traditional acoustic, it just doesn't have a resonating chamber which allows it to be much, much smaller in circumference.

My experience with pickup on a banjo only involved a magnetic pickup. A transducer like this one would work, but I sense that it would overload too easily. You know how dangerous a banjo can be to start with, right:-)

Yes. It's tuned like the four treble guitar strings, or like a ukulele, so chording is similar. Frets are a little small for my Big Hammy Fingers, though ;-)
