Another friend has suggested a Goldtone BC120, as it has a wider nut width than most.

anybody know about this stuff and can give me any advice?

Thanks in advance.
Since you're in the U.K. I'd suggest you check out Leon Ballard's open back offerings. Leon's a Suffolk-based banjo maker. Tell him Rudy from Banjo Hangout sent ya!
