Gold Tone OB-3RF/L Mastertone Orange Blossom Twanger Pre-War Resonator Banjo with Case (Left-Handed)
The Gold Tone OB-3RF/L is the left-handed version of the acclaimed Orange Blossom "Twanger" — a meticulous pre-war recreation inspired by JD Crowe's legendary RB-3 "Banger," featuring a proprietary No-Hole flat-top bell brass tone ring, slanted resonator walls, Gotoh planetary tuners, and a brown mahogany finish. Built for serious bluegrass players who demand authentic pre-war tone and feel in a left-handed instrument, it delivers a focused, punchy attack with tight sustain that outperforms far pricier options. This banjo arrives factory set up by Gold Tone in Titusville, Florida, and includes an archtop hardshell case.
The Gold Tone OB-Bela is a meticulous tribute to Béla Fleck’s legendary Number 1 banjo — a 1937 Style 75 Mastertone pot paired with a neck built to his exact specifications for a wider, thicker feel and radiused fretboard that unlocks the full-spectrum warmth his playing is known for. With a no-hole bell bronze flat-top tone ring, ebony compound-radius fingerboard, Rickard Cyclone tuners, and custom Flying Eagle inlay with red hearts, this is a serious instrument for serious players. Every OB-Bela ships with a professional factory setup from Gold Tone in Titusville, Florida, and financing is available through PayPal Pay in 4, Afterpay, and extended plans up to 24 months.
The Gold Tone OB-Grandee Flying Eagle is a stunning professional-grade tribute to the great pre-war Mastertone banjos, dressed in gold-plated engraved hardware, curly maple, and a breathtaking Flying Eagle neck and headstock inlay. This is one of the most visually magnificent and sonically commanding banjos Gold Tone has ever produced — built for serious players who want that authentic vintage tone without hunting down a six-figure original. Every OB-Grandee Flying Eagle ships with a professional factory setup from Gold Tone in Titusville, Florida.
The Gold Tone OB-Grandee is Gold Tone's tribute to the Gibson Granada, the holy grail of pre-war banjos. Gold-plated engraved hardware, Hearts and Flowers inlay on ebony fingerboard, sand-cast bell brass tone ring, 3-ply Canadian maple rim, one-piece cast flange, Prucha clamshell tailpiece, Gotoh planetary tuners, Snuffy Smith bridge.
