Tested and 100% functional! We ask that you observe its pictures closely and invite you to contact us with any additional questions you may have.
This Gold Tone OB-250 Orange Blossom 5-String Banjo has been previously owned and is in good cosmetic shape with noticeable, but normal wear. Tarnishing can be seen on chrome hardware and significant cloudiness or "haze" can be seen in the finish on top of the headstock. Moderate wear can also be found on the first few frets. These imperfections are cosmetic in nature only and do not affect the functionality of the instrument. Plays and sounds fantastic!
The Orange Blossom (OB) banjos harken back to Gold Tone's early days and their popularity hasn't diminished over the decades. These professional-grade banjos evoke the great pre-WW ll banjos played by the Masters: Earl Scruggs, Don Reno and J.D. Crow all depended on those great banjos from the United States' Midwest to power their sound. The OB-250 has everything needed to produce that tone: A sand-cast bell brass flathead tone ring, a cast one-piece resonator flange circling a multi-ply maple rim with twin coordinator rods and an extra-deep curly maple multi-ply resonator for better low-end response. The curly maple neck has a bound ebony fretboard with hearts and flowers inlay. The bracket hooks even have metric threading to enable finer tension adjustment. This model includes a hardshell case.
