Product Description

The Bluegrass Special 250 w/ Flange (BG-250F) is the first professional 5-string banjo in our line. It is a vintage replica of the most famous banjo ever played in bluegrass music. All its parts are accurate reproductions of the original. In addition, we have added a maple neck to brighten the tone compared to the original mahogany necks and added a straightline tailpiece to provide extra downward pressure on the bridge creating even more volume. Features also include a bound rosewood fingerboard, a die cast one piece flange and 13” bound mahogany resonator, the new GT Master planetary tuners, a 3-ply Canadian maple rim, flat-top 20-hole bell brass tone ring, and a complete setup here at the Gold Tone Factory in Florida. For a no frills, straight ahead bluegrass banjo, the BG-250F cannot be beat for quality and tone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Banjo, January 9, 2007
This review is from: Gold Tone BG-250F Bluegrass Special Banjo with Flange (Five String, Vintage Brown) (Electronics)
Great instrument. Great sound for not a lot of money. Bright sound. Plays almost as well as MUCH more expensive banjos.
