i've heard it described as/called a "banjitar" which i think is a pretty cool word. but the timbre and sound character are most certainly banjo. i don't know anything about banjos other than the sound they make has tons of attack and very little sustain... and i really like that. someone said earlier in this thread they'd heard that playing a 6-string banjo is the cheater's approach, to which i reply that to pick up a musical instrument and firstly consider the stigma attached to it is submitting to a very linear and limited perspective, effectively forgetting about one's own personal potential. music can come out of a brick, and if i didn't know what it was when i found it, i would still smile when i applied the elements of music to my relationship with that brick
on another note, i sadly had to pawn that banjo due to job loss and needing to feed a great dane named Numa-Pi.
