Gold Tone Mastertone OB-2 Bowtie Banjo (with Case)

zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Boasting a mahogany neck and resonator, along with a 19-hole tone ring, this Mastertone banjo pays tribute to classic bowtie models from the early-'60s.

The Gold Tone OB-2 Bowtie is a modern evocation of the classic bowtie Mastertone banjos of 1960 to mid-1964, when the bowtie was at its peak of quality. A unique nineteen-hole flathead tone ring was used during this time.

The feature set closely adheres to the original banjo: mahogany neck and mahogany resonator, a beautiful golden sunburst finish and a nineteen-hole flathead tone ring. Updated features include high-quality Gotoh machine heads, a Dotson bridge, a Presto-style tailpiece and dual coordinator rods for precise adjustment. From Gold Tone's hands to yours, the value, tone, and playability are excellent.
