The four members of the Gold Tone banjo-ukulele choir (soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone) all utilize the same eight-inch maple-rimmed pot assembly and differ only in the scale lengths of their necks. All models feature Remo Weather King heads, maple necks with bound fingerboards, geared guitar-style tuners, and plate-style resonators.
The Gold Tone CC-100R is the best beginner banjo at this price. Maple neck and rim, rolled brass tone ring, two-way adjustable truss rod, and a convertible resonator/openback design. Professionally set up at Banjo Warehouse in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Gig bag included.
The original, and still a best-seller. You'll find that this mighty mite has real usefulness in acoustic playing situations, but plug it in and the REAL fun begins.
This vintage 1980s Fender Leo banjo was made in Japan to Gibson specs and features a full-size tone ring, 10-ply maple shell, and pro setup. A semi-pro banjo at a beginner price.
