Gold Tone Bluegrass Resonator Banjos
Gold Tone offers a popular line of banjos designed specifically for bluegrass music. They are known for their high-quality construction, rich tone, and affordable prices.
Gold Tone offers a range of models to suit different playing styles and skill levels, from entry-level options to professional-grade instruments. These banjos typically feature a resonator and a tone ring, which produces a bright, powerful sound that cuts through in a bluegrass ensemble.
Gold Tone bluegrass banjos are favored by many musicians for their playability, durability, and overall value. Take a look at the many options.
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.

In late 2018, "Banjo Ben" Clark, Jake Stogdill, and Robby Boone had a concept for replicating one of the most iconic banjos, played by one of the most iconic banjo players of all time, JD Crowe's original RB-3 ("Banger"). After extensive research and great attention to every detail, Gold Tone was able to rebirth this classic banjo as the OB-3.
The double-cut headstock, combined with the Hearts-and-Flowers inlay pattern, says it all. The OB-Standard respects the GOAT Bluegrass banjoist, Earl Scruggs, who played this banjo style for many years.
"Pre-war" style, at a price anyone can afford, AND authentic tone and superb playability describe the OB-150.

The OB-150 is professionally set up in our Florida shop and comes with TRANSFERRABLE lifetime warranty.
