The Gold Tone CC-100R+ takes the legendary Cripple Creek platform and adds the two upgrades players ask for most: a rolled brass flat-bar tone ring and a ZeroGlide nut. The result is a richer, more resonant tone with real clarity in the upper register, plus open strings that stay in tune with fretted notes right out of the box. For a first serious banjo, or a reliable second instrument, it is hard to beat at this price.
The foundation is all there. A hard maple neck and multi-ply maple rim, a real rosewood fretboard with snowflake inlays, dual 11-inch coordinator rods for precise neck-angle adjustment, and a two-way truss rod give the CC-100R+ the kind of build quality you usually have to spend more to find. Chrome hardware, a flat-bar tension hoop, and a Remo coated head round out a package that is genuinely overbuilt for the money. Sealed guitar-style tuners hold pitch reliably, which is a real help for newer players.
Every CC-100R+ is professionally set up at Gold Tone’s factory in Titusville, Florida before it ships, so the action, intonation, and head tension are dialed in for comfortable playing the moment it arrives.
