I have never seen one but here is some web info on them:
The guitjo or banjitar or ganjo is a six-string banjo with the neck of a guitar. It is tuned like a guitar and can be played by guitarists who desire the sound of a banjo. It was popular in the jazz and swing music of the 1920s.
Guitjo (double-neck)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
A double-necked guitjo is a guitar-like, fretted, stringed, musical instrument that has two necks attached to a single body, generally with 14-strings, seven strings on each neck. It is strung more like a banjo rather than a traditional guitar. Both necks may be played simultaneously producing a sound that has elements of both guitar and harp. [1],[2]
The double-necked guitjo was developed in the late-twentieth century.[3] Guitjos are made and repaired by luthiers.
Of course they are made by several manufacturers I think they are more popular in Canada.
