Overview

A sleek-looking banjo, ready for the stage with a DMT Design humbucker pickup.

The Dean Backwoods 2 Acoustic-Electric 5-String Banjo offers the best of both traditional tone and modern performance. Its sleek looks are complemented by a DMT design humbucker that delivers full-on electric banjo tones to your PA or rig. The BW2E also has a mahogany resonator for increased acoustic volume with a transparent Remo head that lets you see through to the wood. The smooth rosewood fingerboard has a 26-1/2" scale and pearl dot inlays for fingering precision. Vintage open-face tuners add style while keeping notes in tune.
