Built on an 8-inch multi-ply maple rim with a Remo Weather King head and a maple neck, it delivers that crisp, percussive banjo-uke voice with comfortable, familiar string spacing. Every BUB ships with a hard shell case and professionally set up at Gold Tone's factory in Titusville, FL.

It comes complete with a hard shell case and arrives professionally set up at Gold Tone's factory in Titusville, FL.
