Gold Tone Maple Mountain Openback Banjo Gloss Natural

Description

The MM-150 was Gold Tone´s first openback banjo and it still offers features found on many higher-priced banjos for less than you´d expect to pay. The half-inch-thick maple rim carries an authentically-designed Whyte Laydie-style scalloped three-piece brass tone ring under an eleven-inch Remo Renaissance head.

Premium parts include a comfortable maple neck, rosewood fingerboard with snowflake inlays and a frailing scoop, vintage Fairbanks-style headstock design, planetary tuners, a reproduction of the early 1900s armrest (secured by the banjo´s bracket hooks), and No Knot tailpiece. The MM-150 is completely set up at the Gold Tone Factory.
