The Gold Tone AC-4T is a 4-string openback tenor banjo set up for standard CGDA tuning. Like the rest of the Acoustic Composite line it is light, durable, and easy to play, with a slim neck and a ZeroGlide nut for stable tuning. The composite rim gives it a bright, punchy voice with plenty of projection for its size, and at 3.5 pounds it travels anywhere. Professionally set up at Gold Tone's factory in Titusville, FL and shipped with a gig bag.
This is the left-handed version of the Gold Tone AC-5 — a genuinely impressive beginner bluegrass banjo that punches well above its price point. The composite rim and resonator deliver a punchy low end and clear, ringing highs that surprised me the first time I picked one up. It ships with a padded gig bag and is professionally set up at the Gold Tone factory in Titusville, Florida before shipping.
The Gold Tone AC-5+1 is a true six-string five-string banjo — your standard gGDGBD tuning opens up a whole new world of melodic and compositional possibilities without breaking the bank. Built around Gold Tone's durable composite rim and resonator, it delivers lively, consistent tone whether you're a curious picker exploring new territory or a working musician wanting an affordable double. Comes complete with a gig bag and is professionally set up at the Gold Tone factory in Titusville, Florida before shipping.
