Gold Tone MC-150R/P Intermediate Maple Classic 5-String Bluegrass Banjo w/Steel Tone Ring & Gig Bag

The beautiful blonde Maple Classic is the ideal all-around banjo for the eclectic player. The flangeless MC-150RP is convertible to a powerful open-back (like many of our banjos); just pop off the resonator and mounting brackets and you're in business. It's also the most economical banjo we make that has a full complement of professional-grade parts in its arsenal. These include a 3/4" hard maple rim with a matching flathead tone ring, planetary-gear tuning machines, a straight-line tailpiece, and an engraved armrest. Available as a left-handed model.
