The Hawaiian steel guitars Herman Weissenborn made before WWll were unique in sound and construction. No current instrument maker has studied those original designs as closely as Gold Tone. We’ve replicated their distinctive tone with our Weissenborn hollow-neck guitars.
The incredibly affordable GT features satin-finished all-mahogany construction, inlaid flush maple frets, and open-geared Grover Stay-Tite tuning machine heads. It also includes a padded gig bag.
Because of the Weissenborn guitar’s original-style construction, care must be taken to use the correct tunings and string gauges to avoid bridge, bracing, or neck problems. The strings supplied (gauged .014, .018, .026w, .034w, .044w, .056w) allow for G (DGDGBD), D (DADF#AD), and similar tunings. Your Weissenborn will not tolerate the excessive tension exerted by E tuning (EBEG#BE), Dobro G tuning (GBDGBD), or similar tunings. Using these or other non-recommended tunings will void the warranty. The total string tension exerted on ANY Gold Tone Weissenborn guitar should be no more than 165 lbs. when tuned to standard (A440) pitch. Several online string-tension calculators are available to help you determine the correct string gauges for any tuning you want to utilize.
This is an open-box model that was on display in our shop but it’s brand new and comes with a full warranty.
All Gold Tone instruments are set up in Titusville, FL. USA

This variant of the venerable CC-100R features a generous nut width of 1 and 5/16" (1/8" wider than that of standard Cripple Creek models). The rolled brass tone ring and the tension hoop are thicker than those previously used, increasing the mass of the pot assembly. This results in a more powerful sound.

The Fender Leo was made in Japan when the Japanese perhaps made superior banjos to those made in the United States. This Leo was built to Gibson specifications and features a full-size tone ring and a 10-ply shell. It also has pot metal parts and high-quality keys. This particular Fender Leo belonged to an avid collector who had many banjos, so it was rarely played. It includes the original hardshell case.
