Comet

Freedom to Fly

Introducing Nechville's newest electric banjo. The Comet has a solid body with two hot rails pickups. Like all of our instruments it's made here in the USA. The Comet has the same great neck and radiused fingerboard as our premium acoustic banjos. It's perfect for plugging right into a headphone amp or device for practice. For live gigs, the Comet is as feedback resistant as an electric guitar, and incredibly light. The Comet is perfect for someone looking to electrify their banjo sound.

Radiused Fingerboard
7-12" compound radius for playability and comfort
Solid Body
Allows for quiet practice and loud performances
Dual Passive Humbuckers
With separate controls for a wide range of tone, no batteries required
Strat-Style Bridge
Five saddle bridge adds sustain, individual compensation, and adjustible action

Note: Like electric guitars, the Comet does not come shielded from the factory. That means that if you play in an area that has a lot of radio freqencies you may hear a bit of hum through your amp. If you need your Comet to be as quiet as possible, let us know and we can shield it during the build.
