Gold Tone Mastertone OB-250+TP Orange Blossom Banjo

Gold Tone Mastertone OB-250+TP Orange Blossom Banjo

The Gold Tone OB-250+TP Orange Blossom Banjo represents the pinnacle of Gold Tone’s Orange Blossom series. Its ultra-premium 11" JLS #12 Bell Bronze tone ring, crafted in the USA by master caster Jim Stull, is modeled after pre-WWII banjo tone rings. The long-skirt design maximizes energy transfer between rim, neck, and tone ring, delivering a rich, pre-war inspired Bluegrass tone with remarkable sustain and projection.

The TP upgrade features a Made in America Companion Banjo Birch Block Rim, adding even greater clarity, power, and resonance compared to traditional 3-ply rims. Combined with a flamed maple resonator, curly maple neck, and Hearts & Flowers inlay, the OB-250+TP provides professional-level tone and playability. Gotoh planetary tuners and a Prucha (2024) tailpiece ensure stable tuning and precise performance, making it suitable for both stage and studio.

Perfect for serious Bluegrass performers, collectors, and professional musicians, the OB-250+TP stands out for its combination of historic inspiration, modern craftsmanship, and superior sound quality. Its elegant design, vintage brown high-gloss finish, and meticulous attention to detail make it a standout instrument that inspires confidence and creativity in every performance.
