Gold Tone CEB-5 5-String Cello Banjo

Gold Tone CEB-5 5-String Cello Banjo 

The Gold Tone CEB-5 5-String Cello Banjo is expertly handcrafted for banjoists seeking a deep, resonant voice with professional playability. Built with a 14-inch multi-ply maple pot, high-gloss vintage brown finish, and a Remo Renaissance head, this instrument combines modern precision with traditional banjo craftsmanship. Its maple neck, bound ebony fingerboard with Weymann vintage inlays, and two-way adjustable truss rod provide smooth action and control, while the Rolled brass tone ring and dual coordinator rods ensure stability and clarity across every register.

Designed to produce rich, gut-rumbling lows, the CEB-5 is tuned a full octave below standard five-string banjos (GDGBD), delivering bass-like presence without compromising traditional clawhammer, Scruggs-style, or Newgrass techniques. Its 14-inch head, Terminator tailpiece, and GT Master Planetary tuners provide crisp articulation, responsive projection, and a bold tonal palette that deepens and matures with use.

Ideal for professional and adventurous banjoists, the CEB-5 shines in Old Time ensembles, Bluegrass/Newgrass bands, and multi-genre projects seeking a unique tonal addition. Its combination of powerful low-end, stage-ready setup, and visual elegance make it a standout instrument for performers, educators, and serious collectors alike.
