The OB-Grandee continues Gold Tone’s celebrated line of pre-war tribute banjos, following the OB-3 Twanger, OB-Béla, and OB-2 Bowtie. Inspired by one of the most coveted “Holy Grail” banjos of the pre-WWII era, the OB-Grandee combines exquisite aesthetics with professional-grade tone.
Featuring a curly maple neck and resonator, gold-plated hardware, and a hearts & flowers inlay, this banjo delivers a vintage-inspired look that commands attention. Its 20-hole sand-cast bell brass tone ring and 3-ply Canadian maple rim produce powerful projection, clarity, and depth that captures the pre-war essence at a far more accessible price.
This banjo is built for the professional picker who demands uncompromising tone and craftsmanship, while appreciating a strikingly ornate instrument that performs on any stage.
