The Gold Tone OB-Standard is a tribute to the legendary “pre-war” Bluegrass banjos made famous by the greats. Its double-cut headstock and Hearts-and-Flowers inlay give it an unmistakably classic look, while the maple neck, rim, and 14" resonator deliver the authentic punch and projection that Bluegrass players demand. Outfitted with a 20-hole sand-cast bell brass flathead tone ring, a Prucha Presto tailpiece, and a Dotson bridge, the OB-Standard is built to perform on stage or in the studio with power, clarity, and rich tonal depth.
Nickel-plated hardware, crème ABS binding, and a Vintage Brown high-gloss finish complete its timeless design. With premium Gotoh planetary tuners, a comfortable ebony fingerboard, and professional-grade craftsmanship, the OB-Standard isn’t just a banjo—it’s a workhorse instrument designed for serious pickers who want pre-war style and modern reliability at a more accessible price.
