The Gold Tone OB-300 is the most visually stunning professional bluegrass banjo at anywhere near its price. Triple-plated gold hardware throughout, a modified tree of life inlay with abalone and mother of pearl running the full length of the ebony fingerboard, a sand-cast bell bronze flathead tone ring, and a flamed maple resonator with its own inlaid pearl and abalone artwork. This is an instrument that commands attention before you play a note — and delivers serious professional tone when you do.

The OB-300 is built on the same professional foundation as the rest of the Orange Blossom series: 3-ply Canadian maple rim, one-piece cast flange, 24 brackets, dual coordinator rods, and a 20-hole flat top bell bronze tone ring. The difference is everything you see.

Every OB-300 we sell is inspected and set up by our banjo tech Tara at Banjo Warehouse in Yellow Springs, Ohio before it ships. Tara trained at the Huber Banjo factory under Steve Huber and Bennie Boling. Gold Tone also sets up every OB-300 at their factory in Titusville, Florida. Two professional setups before it reaches you. Hardshell case included.
