Here's a couple pictures of a conversion from 4-string to 5-string. I added a piece of aluminum angle to the side of the neck, and modified a spring clothespin to be a sliding capo. And I installed a guitar tuner down near the tailpiece. It sounds as good and LOUD as ever. And, if anybody wants to restore it to original 4-string status, there's no 3/8 inch hole in the side of the neck. It's for sale. $165 plus shipping.

Pardon the BLUR, but I'm new at digital shootography!

There's alittle wooden block that supports the barrel of the peg. And the plate of the peg is fastened to the tailpiece If you are modifying a 4-string, please NOTE! Fastening to the tailpiece only worked on THIS banjo because of the unique shape of the tailpiece. Your banjo may vary. (And I'd be darn surprised if it didn't.)
