Stagg BJM30 DL 5-String Bluegrass Banjo

The Stagg BJM30 DL is a 5-string bluegrass banjo with a mahogany resonator, an all-cast metal alloy pot and 30 flat-type bracket hooks. It is built for players who want the bright, forward sound associated with bluegrass, whether you are practising at home, jamming with friends or playing live.

Resonator Body for Bluegrass Volume

The mahogany resonator encloses the back of the banjo and directs sound forwards towards your audience, which is why resonator banjos are the traditional choice for bluegrass. The all-cast metal alloy pot is fitted with an 11-inch REMO White Coated top head, held in place by 30 flat-type bracket hooks.

Neck and Playability

The nato set neck measures 660 mm and carries a rosewood fingerboard with 22 frets. Pearloid clover inlays mark your positions, and ivoroid cream binding runs along both the neck and resonator. A nickel-plated brass armrest keeps your forearm clear of the head as you play.

Tuners and Hardware

Four open-gear machine heads sit on the headstock, with a high gear ratio 5th peg on the neck for finer tuning adjustments on the short drone string. All tuners have pearloid knobs. The maple and ebony bridge and nickel-plated brass tailpiece complete the hardware, and the whole instrument is finished in high gloss.

Who Is This 5-String Bluegrass Banjo Suitable For?

The BJM30 DL suits players who want a full-size resonator banjo for bluegrass and folk styles. Its 22-fret fingerboard gives you the full playing range, while the resonator makes it well suited to playing alongside guitars, fiddles and other acoustic instruments.
