This is the left-handed version of the Gold Tone OB-150RF Orange Blossom — a pre-war-inspired flathead bluegrass banjo built around a bell brass tone ring, three-ply maple rim, and one-piece cast flange, all at a price that makes authentic Scruggs-style tone genuinely accessible. With a maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, vintage pearloid inlays, and a satin Vintage Brown finish, the OB-150RF/L delivers the look and feel of the classic originals without the five-figure price tag. Every instrument ships with a professional factory setup from Gold Tone in Titusville, Florida and includes a hard case.
