Zombie Killer 3

The undead have evolved… and so has your banjo. The third iteration of our fan-favorite Zombie Killer is back, meaner, bloodier, and ready to slay both stages and zombies. This apocalyptic beauty is loaded with features forged in the chaos of the end times:

• Apocalyptic Rust Hardware – Battle-worn and ready for survival.
• Blood-Splattered Blonde Resonator & Heel – Every streak tells a story of survival.
• Matte Black Head – Dark as the midnight graveyard.
• Black Maple Rim – Durable enough to fend off a horde.
• Enhanced Zombie Inlays – Ghastly details crawling up the fretboard.
• Blood Drip Goodtime Logo – A final warning to all who dare cross you.

Whether you’re ripping through clawhammer licks or unleashing bluegrass fury, the Goodtime Zombie Killer Banjo III is designed to survive any apocalypse — and look terrifying while doing it.

Plus, every Zombie Killer is backed by an 8-year warranty, because even in the apocalypse, we’ve got your back.
