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.
