Gold Tone PS-250 Plectrum Special Banjo

Gold Tone PS-250 Plectrum Special Banjo 

The Gold Tone PS-250 Plectrum Special Banjo is a masterful homage to the jazz banjos of the late 1920s and 1930s, handcrafted with precision to deliver both vintage aesthetics and professional-grade performance. Its 14" mahogany resonator, 11" bell brass flat-top tone ring, and one-piece flange create a beautifully balanced, visually striking instrument. Built with a maple neck and rosewood fingerboard, featuring classic Hearts & Flowers inlays, the PS-250 combines traditional craftsmanship with modern playability.

Designed for superior tonal projection, the PS-250 produces a rich, warm sound with clarity that cuts through ensemble settings or shines in solo performance. Its bell brass tone ring provides crisp articulation and punch, while the 3-ply maple rim enhances resonance. Players will appreciate how the instrument’s tone blossoms over time, maintaining warmth and definition across a wide dynamic range.

Ideal for jazz, swing, or plectrum-style banjoists, this model is perfect for performers seeking vintage tone with contemporary reliability. Its 22 frets, low action, and versatile tunings—including CGBD and DGBE “Chicago” tuning—make it adaptable for both traditional and modern arrangements. The PS-250’s professional-grade components and comfortable setup make it an exceptional choice for serious musicians.
