BLUERIDGE Electrified Guitar-tuned 6 String Banjo
So far I have had little success in determining anything about the Blueridge brand of banjos, except that they may have been produced for the Blueridge Guitar Company during the last millenium. The Blueridge Guitar Company currently supplies instruments aimed at the budget end of the market. However, this instrument has had the addition of what appears to be a rather pricey Fishman Classic Series neodymium under-skin pickup, which implies that a previous owner thought enough of this banjitar to invest in it's amplification.

RM 5 String Left Hand Open Back Banjo
1960's John Grey / Rose Morris Long Neck
John Grey & Sons Ltd were acquired by Rose, Morris & Co. Ltd. who made banjos up to and after the second world war. From 1967, the company started selling it's own products and just use the trademark "R.M" from Rose Morris. Rose-Morris are today a large musical department store.
Long neck banjos are extremely versatile. They can be used for any kind of music, in more keys than are available in other banjos and the keys are available with the quick addition of a capo. Capoing a long neck banjo at the third fret, places the banjo in “G” tuning. Many long neck players keep capos on their long neck banjos at the third fret and then capo up OR down as the song might require.
