Gold Tone Plectrum Banjos
Gold Tone plectrum banjos are a line of banjos designed for players who prefer to play in the plectrum tuning, which is commonly used in traditional jazz and other genres. These banjos typically have a longer neck and a larger body compared to traditional five-string banjos, which allows for easier fingering in the lower registers.
Gold Tone offers a variety of plectrum banjos, from entry-level options to professional-grade instruments, that are known for their high-quality construction, rich tone, and affordability. These banjos often feature a resonator and a tone ring, which produces a bright, powerful sound that can cut through in a band setting. Many musicians appreciate the versatility of Gold Tone plectrum banjos, which can be used in a range of musical genres beyond just traditional jazz.

The Gold Tone AC-4P is a lightweight, open-back plectrum banjo built for players who want a genuine, playable instrument without breaking the bank. Its 26 1/8" scale length and CGBD tuning make it the natural choice for jazz, classic banjo, and folk styles, and the composite rim delivers a warm, "plunky" vintage tone that feels right at home in any of those genres. A deluxe gig bag is included, and every AC-4P ships from Banjo Warehouse already set up and ready to play.
The Gold Tone CC-Plectrum is a beautifully built 22-fret, four-string plectrum banjo that sits right in the sweet spot between tenor and five-string — ideal for jazz, Celtic, pop, and beyond. It ships with a gig bag and features a removable resonator so you can play it open-back or closed depending on the setting. Every CC-Plectrum receives a professional factory setup at Gold Tone in Titusville, Florida before it ships to you.
The Gold Tone PS-250 Plectrum Special is a masterfully crafted 22-fret banjo that channels the commanding voice of the great jazz banjos of the late 1920s and early 1930s. Its bell brass flat-top tone ring, 14-inch mahogany resonator, and one-piece flange combine to deliver a powerful, full-bodied tone equally at home in a dixieland ensemble or a solo chord-melody performance. Every PS-250 ships with a hard case and receives a professional factory setup at Gold Tone in Titusville, Florida before it ships.
