Description

GOLD TONE 5-STRING OPEN BACK OLD TIME BANJO w/ DELUXE HARDSHELL CASE ~ OT-800
The Old Tone 0T-800 is an accurate reproduction of the most sought after banjo design in the classic Old Time sound, the Vega Tubaphone. The Gold Tone 0T-800 incorporates a fitted metal bracket band to an 11 maple rim in which the shoe lugs bolt directly to the bracket band instead of the wood rim allowing for a more solid tone and increased sustain. The 32-hole brass Tubaphone-style tone ring allows the sound to ring loud and clear with maximum sustain. Improvements to the original classic design include dual coordinator rods (instead of a dowel stick) for a solid neck fit and easy adjustment capabilities.
Other features include a maple neck with bound ebony fingerboard with frailing scoop, a classic engraved fingerboard inlay design, a Fairbanks-style headstock, 11 Renaissance banjo head, and a No Knot tailpiece. With final assembly and a complete setup at the Gold Tone Factory in Florida, this model delivers exactly what the contemporary openback banjo player is looking for! The 0T-800 includes a deluxe arch case.
Every instrument receives a 12 point set-up and is thoroughly inspected before shipment. This takes additional time before shipping but insures that your instrument will be received without any flaws or issues and will be ready to play right out of the box!
