[Dixielandjazz] Banjo/Guitar

[Mike C.]

Those aren't as unusual as you might think. Deering banjo has been 
making six string banjos(same thing as a banjitar I believe)quite 
sometime. Joe Satriani (rock guitarist supreme) has one and there's a 
few other rockers and folk guys out here in Denver who play on one.
