The Maple Mountain 150 five-string banjo is the first open-back banjo from Gold Tone. The company's philosophy was already clear at this point - to offer a quality banjo at an affordable price with components you would expect to find on more expensive instruments.
The banjo features an exact replica of Whyte Ladye's three-piece tone ring, which supports a body of three layers of maple for maximum volume. Attached to the body is an eleven-inch Remo HC Renaissance tensioned bellows. The neck is maple, with the rosewood fingerboard surface divided by eighteen frets and decorative snowflake-shaped position markers. The recessed fingerboard is adapted for the clawhammer technique. The strings are mounted in GT Planetary tuning machines and over a maple and ebony fingerboard in a No Knot. The stylish workmanship is accentuated by the early 20th-century armrest design and Fairbanks-style headstock shape,
The banjo is tuned in G-D-G-H-D.
