A long-standing Gold Tone classic, the CC-100 has introduced more than 25,000 players to the banjo world. It consistently outclasses other banjos in its price range, with features that make it reliable, comfortable, and stage-ready. Built with a hard maple neck and rim, rolled brass tone ring, and dual coordinator rods, it provides bright projection and stability.
Its black-bound rosewood fretboard, curly maple headstock veneer, and snowflake inlays give it a refined look, while the straight-line tailpiece, low comfortable action, and two-way truss rod make it highly playable. Each CC-100 is professionally set up in Gold Tone’s Florida shop, ensuring consistency and quality. Available as a left-handed model.
Best For
Beginners and early intermediate players who want a serious instrument to grow with — perfect as a first banjo or a reliable practice/gig companion.
