Gold Tone OB-250/L Professional Orange Blossom 5-String Bluegrass Banjo w/Hard Case For Lefty Player

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 Midwest USA 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 a better low-end response. The curly maple neck has a bound ebony fretboard with hearts & flowers inlay. The bracket hooks even have metric threading to enable finer tension adjustment. The price includes a hard shell case.
