Gold Tone CC-100+ Cripple Creek Banjo

Gold Tone CC-100+: Cripple Creek Banjo Upgraded with Pickup 

The Gold Tone CC-100+ builds on the legacy of the classic Cripple Creek series, crafted with precision in Gold Tone’s Florida workshop. Featuring a hard maple neck and a 3-ply Canadian maple rim, this banjo is enhanced with a vintage brown high-gloss finish, a black-bound real rosewood fretboard, and a curly maple headstock veneer. Dual coordinator rods, a brass rod tone ring, and GT Master planetary-geared tuners ensure superior stability and tuning accuracy. Every component is carefully assembled and set up by skilled luthiers for lasting playability and durability.

This upgraded Cripple Creek banjo delivers a bright, clear, and resonant tone with excellent projection, thanks to its 11” Remo LC coated head and rolled brass flat-bar tone ring. The sound blossoms over time, revealing rich midrange warmth, sparkling trebles, and a punchy, balanced tone suitable for both traditional bluegrass and modern playing styles. Its low, comfortable string action allows for fast picking and smooth rolls with minimal effort.

Perfect for intermediate to advanced players seeking a high-quality banjo with professional upgrades, the CC-100+ stands out as a stage-ready instrument for performers, teachers, and serious hobbyists. Its built-in pickup and deluxe hardware make it an excellent choice for amplified performances, recording, and live gigs while maintaining the authentic Cripple Creek banjo sound.
