Thinking VERY seriously about getting one of these.

Me and 5 strings seem to get along better than 6 strings ever dreamed of. I did a search here for any words of wisdom, and nadda! I got a reso guitar because I love them. I got a banjo because my buddys said my finger style sounded like banjo pickin. I've done more with my banjo in 6 months than the last couple years on guitar. It just fits me. My blues on banjo has even gotten nastier than my guitar blues. This seems to be the best of both worlds, man, blues using a neck and tuning I've come to love. Just courious if any one has any experience with one? Gold Tone resos any good? I've got a Gold Tone banjo I really love. Also...mahgony or maple? I wouldn't have a clue. If I can survive the holidays with some cash...I'm thinking of ordering one next month.
