Gold Tone BG-150F Bluegrass Banjo

Gold Tone BG-150F: Bluegrass Banjo with Flange and Bag 

Introduced in 2016, the Gold Tone BG-150F Bluegrass Banjo captures the look, tone, and spirit of the legendary pre-WWII banjos — all in a lightweight, accessible design. Its 14" mahogany resonator, vintage brown finish, and hearts-and-flowers inlay mirror Gold Tone’s premium BG-250F while maintaining a player-friendly feel. The multi-ply maple rim and rolled brass tone ring deliver the authentic punch and clarity demanded by serious Bluegrass musicians, while the reduced weight ensures all-night comfort on stage.

The BG-150F produces a bright, crisp projection with well-balanced mids and powerful bass fundamentals. The rolled brass tone ring enhances sustain and depth without the heavy load of a full bell brass ring, making it perfect for extended performances, jam sessions, or recording. Over time, its maple-and-mahogany body combination matures to yield a warmer and richer tonal palette, perfect for both solo and ensemble playing.

Ideal for intermediate to professional Bluegrass players, this model offers incredible value for its craftsmanship, tone, and vintage appeal. Whether you’re performing live, recording, or practicing, the BG-150F stands out as a dependable, stage-ready banjo that delivers both comfort and classic Bluegrass tone — at a price point accessible to working musicians.
