A lighter-weight take on a classic.
The Gold Tone OB-100 is a tribute to the classic RB-100, designed with input from Greg Rich. It delivers Mastertone-style tone and construction at a weight your shoulder will thank you for.
Smart Design, Serious Tone
The OB-100 features a 3-ply tone rim with a specially routed channel along the top outer edge that holds a rolled brass tone ring. This design delivers a strong, focused punch while reducing overall weight to just 13 lbs.
