Product Description

Description

The Liberty 5-String Banjo

“Crisp tone that carries beautifully, the tuning stays rock-solid”

The Liberty 5-string banjo is a premium-grade instrument built for serious musicians and ambitious learners alike — especially those looking for a brighter, more resonant sound with exceptional sustain. Whether you’re playing bluegrass or folk, the Liberty delivers bold tone and professional-grade performance.

We've fitted this banjo with geared planetary tuners, reinforced for added stability. They're ultra-responsive, making tuning effortless whether you're on stage or at home, and they’ll hold pitch longer — even through extended sessions.

At the heart of the Liberty is a solid maple rim and zinc alloy flange, paired with a double-ring tone ring — a combination that delivers superior volume, clarity, and projection. You’ll hear and feel the difference, especially in group playing where tone definition matters most.

The Liberty is the pinnicle of our 5-sting range. Whether you're rolling, clawhammering or picking melody lines, you’ll find every note rings clear and true. It's 22-fret neck gives you full access to the 5-string repertoire.

Special Offer! Order today and get a FREE padded gig bag with reinforced 20mm padding.

Product highlights

Why Premium Materials Matter

The Liberty uses flamed maple, solid maple rim, and a bone nut, giving it a superior tonal response and sustain. Paired with the white Remo head, this produces a crisp, articulate sound with warmth and depth.

“The banjo is great! It arrived quickly and is perfect to get started with.” Fabian B.

The Advantages of 22 Frets

A 22-fret banjo gives you more tonal range, especially for melodic playing. The Liberty is strung with hand-selected D’Addario strings — essential for clean, bright tone and excellent intonation across the full neck.

“Very pleased with my McNeela banjo. It plays beautifully, the length of the fretboard and the tone is strident and lovely and it holds its tuning very well, a joy to play.” Jerry Wigens, UK

Quality and Style

From its custom Celtic motif to its pearl inlay fingerboard, the Liberty is made to impress. Every detail — from the zinc flange to the clamshell tailpiece — has been upgraded from lower-tier models to offer professional playability and visual elegance.

“I’ve never been disappointed in the quality of instruments from McNeela, and I’m happy to say that this banjo is no exception. The sound is wonderful.” Deborah H.
