<p>Years ago I built an electric canjo and used a piezo disk glued under the top. This gives probably the most natural sound as it picks-up the vibration from the drum. Wiring wise, I put a volume knob on it and that's it.</p>
<p>The volume is wired in a regular fashion.</p>

<p>If'your using a top similar to what a banjo uses, I would recommend a low output humbucker. If your using a solid type thick material top I would go with something in the medium output humbucker.</p>

Thanks Taff. Good looking banjos. If love to hear them!<br />
<br />
I'm actually really into sustain. I don't play bluegrass style. So I hope mine has sustain, too. :)

<p>Hi Nate and welcome.</p>
<p>All what you said sounds good, I'll let those that know better comment on the electrics.</p>
<p>Pictured here are two banjos I built/converted with wooden tops, both cedar, they are thin so that they act like a banjo head. The small one is a current project. You could mount a piezo p/u in the back, now that's cheap.</p>

<p>In the banjo link you posted, I did not read it all, but the guy mentioned looking for lots of <strong>sustain. </strong>Just keep in mind that if you are considering playing a 5 string bluegrass type banjo the notes are normally quick an short, an over sustaining instrument may sound muddy or messy. Just a thought.</p>
