The Gold Tone AC-5 five-string banjo is an affordable instrument suitable for beginner banjo players of all ages, made of durable composite and classic materials, but more experienced players should not be discouraged - Gold Tone banjos were a hit at the American NAMM music fair a few years ago.
It is a banjo with a closed back plate (resonator), which, like the body of the instrument, is made of composite material. This makes the instrument extremely light (it weighs around 2.5 kg). An 11-inch Remo LC Coated Topside is attached to the body by a tensioning system. The neck is maple, the rosewood fingerboard is divided by twenty-two frets. The strings are mounted in closed guitar-type mechanisms and over a maple and ebony fingerboard in the stringers.
The banjo is tuned in G-D-G-H-D.
