Gold Tone Mastertone™ OB-Grandee Flying Eagle Banjo Vintage Sunburst w/ Case

This 2026 Gold Tone Mastertone™ OB-Grandee Flying Eagle Granada-Style Banjo came to us with some light fogging in the finish on the face of the headstock (See picture). Otherwise, the banjo is very much in new condition and shows no dings, dents, scratches, or any obvious playwear. This banjo has been professionally set up and plays great! The neck is straight, the action is low and comfortable, and the frets are in excellent condition. This banjo will come complete with the original Gold Tone Hardshell Case that is also in like-new condition. Awesome deal on a fantastic playing and sounding Gold Tone Mastertone™ OB-Grandee Banjo!

The newest addition to our series of tributes to the great banjos made before the Second World War continues with this, the most beautiful edition we’ve offered yet. The Gold Tone OB-Grandee (the Old West moniker for a Spanish nobleman) pays homage to one of the Holy Grail banjos of yore, resplendent in its engraved and gold-plated glory. We’ve responded to your many requests by offering this latest in the series that began with the OB-3 Twanger, followed by the OB-Béla and the OB-2 Bowtie. This professional-grade banjo hits all of the right notes (pun intended): the curly maple neck and resonator, premium hardware, bridge and tuning machines unite to bring you that pre-war essence without the wallet-busting price. And the TONE… the TONE! In this special edition, the OB-Grandee now features our Flying Eagle neck and headstock!
