The Gold Tone OB-2 JM Joe Mullins Signature Banjo delivers authentic 1960s Mastertone bowtie tone with modern reliability. Featuring a rolled brass tone ring, maple resonator with golden sunburst finish, mahogany neck, and premium Gotoh tuners.
This is the left-handed version of the Gold Tone OB-300 Orange Blossom — a stunning, professional-grade flat head banjo featuring a sand-cast bell bronze tone ring, triple-plated gold hardware, and an exquisite modified Tree of Life inlay in curly maple. It arrives professionally set up at Gold Tone's factory in Titusville, FL. If you play left-handed and want a banjo that turns heads as readily as it fills a room, this is it.
The Gold Tone OB-3EF is a meticulous recreation of JD Crowe's legendary RB-3 'Banger,' built around a rare No Hole flat-top bell brass tone ring that delivers the tight, punchy pre-war sound serious players chase for years. Every detail — from the angled resonator walls and Presto tailpiece to the vintage leaf-and-bow inlay and Gotoh planetary tuners — honors the original while benefiting from Gold Tone's modern consistency and quality control. Professionally set up at Gold Tone's factory in Titusville, FL, so it plays beautifully right out of the archtop hardshell case.
