I have been thinking about doing just the opposite. A friend gave me a new six string banjo guitar. I have been considering cutting the neck down to a 5 string profile and maybe pulling the frets.
Banjo playing is poetry.. But I do have to say this.. I'm concerned that you may be going down a bad road, staying up late and listening to banjo players. Didn't yo mama teach you better?
I think it's just because there's more demand for them. You can't put a fifth string on just any old 4 string and have it sound right. Not sure why, something about the way they're fretted. I've done quite a few with some success, and this one turned out really well. The neck on my gas can is also a converted 4 string.
I have a Stewart too......but I can't make it sing like that....you are awesome!!!!

I've got a friend who is doing that. I haven't seen the results yet but am curious to see how it will work out. Keep me posted on the project...

Good idea, For some reason you pay a lot extra for a fifth string and tuner.Why do five string banjos cost so much more?
