Gold Tone MM-150 Maple Mountain Openback Banjo (Five String, Maple)
The maple Mountain 150 (MM-150) is a perfect example of gold tones “more bang for the buck” concept. This open back banjo model is a professional quality instrument offing many of the same features found on much higher priced instruments and packs an unreal tone for its low cost. For a sweet failing or claw hammer tone, The MM-150 is our original open back and has been very well received. This model features an accurate replica of the vintage and highly sought after 3-part white ladye tone ring coupled with a 1/2" Rim for maximum air chamber volume. Other features include a maple neck, rosewood fingerboard with ‘snowflake’ inlays and a failing scoop, vintage Fairbanks-style headstock design, Planetary tuners, 11” Renaissance head, vega-style armrest, and no knot tailpiece. Final assembly and Complete setup performed at the Gold Tone factory in Florida.
