The Gold Tone OB-175 sits in the Orange Blossom Mastertone line and is aimed at the player who wants real Mastertone-style construction without the hardshell-case price. It carries the Orange Blossom voice and build into a package that ships with a gig bag rather than a case.
If you are stepping up from an entry-level resonator banjo, this is the tier where the difference stops being subtle: the rim, the tone ring and the setup all move up a class, and the instrument rewards a lighter, more precise right hand.
This instrument ships factory-fresh direct from Gold Tone, where every instrument receives a professional setup at their Titusville, Florida shop before it leaves, with the full manufacturer warranty. It comes with a bag, not a case.
