Gold Tone AC-Traveler 5-String Travel Banjo

Gold Tone AC-Traveler 

The Gold Tone AC-Traveler is a travel-scale 5-string banjo expertly crafted for musicians who crave portability without compromising tone or build quality. Built in Gold Tone’s Florida workshop and inspired by their renowned AC-1 model, this compact A-scale banjo features a lightweight composite rim and nato neck. Its satin black finish and precision setup deliver a professional-grade playing experience in a 4 lb. frame—perfect for traveling musicians or learners seeking comfort and durability.

Despite its smaller size, the AC-Traveler produces a rich, resonant tone with remarkable clarity and projection. The shorter 23.5" scale provides easy playability while retaining the full-bodied warmth expected from larger banjos. The 11" Remo frosted head, maple bridge with ebony cap, and vintage-style tailpiece all contribute to its crisp articulation and balanced sustain—ideal for bluegrass, folk, and modern acoustic settings alike.

Designed for students, performers, and traveling musicians, the Gold Tone AC-Traveler stands out as a lightweight, reliable, and performance-ready companion. Whether you’re rehearsing on the road, playing outdoor jams, or seeking an ergonomic instrument for smaller hands, the AC-Traveler offers professional sound and comfort in one compact package.

Each instrument is professionally set up by Gold Tone for ideal playability, tonal balance, and responsiveness straight out of the case.
