In keeping with the brand's philosophy, the Gold Tone CC-BG five-string banjo offers quality sound and craftsmanship at an affordable price. It is a banjo with a maple resonator (closed back plate), a tone ring made of rolled brass and a laminated maple body. An 11-inch Remo LC Coated Topside is attached to the body by a tensioning system.
The neck of the instrument 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 a Terminator stringing system. The nice workmanship is accentuated by the shoulder rest decorated with engraving and the Vintage Brown Satin finish.
Recommended tuning G-D-G-H-d.
