I'm happy I got the 2-year warranty on my banjo, because it gives me a few extra weeks to get together another $200 so I can return it and buy a better one. Not that there's anything wrong with my Epiphone MB-100, but I went for the cheapest one because I wasn't sure if I was going to like banjo, and four days later I can confirm that I am natural born banjo player. Going to get this little beauty
A Mitchell MBJ200. I played it a little bit at my local Guitar Center and quite liked the sound, even though I had no idea what I was doing. I've decided I want a resonator (covered back), because I find my banjo is pretty quite unless I accent every note I play. It's reasonably priced and has very good reviews across the board and will be something to keep me going until I get to the point where I feel like dropping $500+ on an instrument.
With that in mind, I've fallen in love with this guitar.
As I'm selling my Epiphone Semi-hollow dot for a recliner chair, I will be short a guitar and this Schecter Corsair sounds amazing. This will be a later purchase though, probably closer towards Black Friday/ Christmas.
