    Now.......it is easily the longer guitar I own. I almost hit walls with it turning to adjust my amp or something.
    Haha. I just got a bass and I definitely need to rearrange the room.

      How do you like those Steinberger tuners? I've never used them, but I am curious.

        I kinda love the Steinbergers. Definitely a bit funky the first time you string them up but they lock down real tight and stay in tune. I'd argue that the knob shape is actually way easier to fine tune and grab onto than the standard tulip or tuning key type.

          Yes, that makes sense.

            Yeah, the banjos are very heavy and gives the bird a noticeable neck dive. I was considering putting those tuners on mine, but the banjos are just so cool, I didn't have the heart to take them off.
