The Gold Tone OB-150EF is the Orange Blossom bluegrass banjo with a 24-fret extended neck. Those extra frets give you a full two octaves on the first string, reaching a high D where a standard 22-fret banjo stops at C, and the longer neck adds weight and string tension for a fuller, punchier voice. Underneath it is the same pre-war-style flathead architecture the OB-150 is known for: a three-ply maple rim, one-piece cast flange, and a bell brass tone ring. Professionally set up at Gold Tone's factory in Titusville, FL and shipped with a hard case.
