Ozark 2112GE 5-String Electric Banjo

The Ozark 2112GE is a 5-string banjo equipped with a built-in humbucking pickup, complete with a jack socket and volume control mounted through the rim for convenient amplification.

It features a wooden rim with a rolled brass tone ring, paired with a mahogany neck and resonator to deliver warm tone and strong projection. The pickup is internally mounted using an integrated clamp system, allowing it to be positioned anywhere along the twin co-ordinator rods so you can fine-tune your preferred sound. Highly resistant to feedback, it performs reliably even in demanding live stage environments.

Additional features include 24 chrome-plated brackets for consistent head tension and an inlaid ovangkol fingerboard for an attractive finish and smooth playability. Geared chrome machine heads ensure quick and accurate tuning.

👍 Pros

🎶 Versatile Tone — Acoustic + Electric

• The inbuilt humbucker gives you plug‑and‑play capability, making this banjo suitable for live gigs, amplified folk setups, and recording without awkward mic placement.

🔊 Useful Stage Playability

• Because the pickup is designed to be resistant to feedback, you can use it with amps and PA systems at higher volumes more reliably than many DIY pickup installs.

🪕 Traditional Construction Means Familiar Acoustic Sound

• The wood shell, brass tone ring, and resonator give it a more authentic banjo timbre than purely electric, solid‑body banjos — valuable if you want both styles.

🎒 Ready to Gig or Practice

• Included gig bag and standard hardware make this a good all‑around choice for players who want one instrument for both practice and small stages.
