Preowned, excellent condition, professionally fitted with capo spikes and comes fully setup!

The Gold Tone Lightweight 5-String Orange Blossom Radiused Banjo with Hard Case is the answer for anyone who loves the punch of a professional bluegrass banjo but could do without the heavy lifting.

Smart Design, Classic Sound

You might worry that losing the metal ring means losing the sound, but this all-wood "rim-and-tone-ring-in-one" is machined to the exact shape of a standard flathead ring. 

This ensures the head area remains the same, keeping the tone tight, punchy, and surprisingly powerful. 

You still get that satisfying short sustain and bluegrass "crack," just without the thirteen-pound weight tag.

Its a practical way to save your back while keeping your sound exactly where it needs to be.

Premium Appointments and Professional Setup

Despite being lighter, this is still a high-spec OB-series banjo through and through. 

It looks stunning with its tobacco-brown finish, flame maple resonator, and classic Hearts & Flowers inlays on an ebony fingerboard. 

You also get high-end features like GT-Master planetary tuners and a ZeroGlide nut for rock-solid tuning. 

Like its heavier siblings, every one of these is professionally set up in Gold Tones Florida shop to ensure it plays perfectly the moment you take it out of the included hard case.
