Gold Tone CC-100R+ Cripple Creek Resonator Banjo

Gold Tone CC-100R+: Cripple Creek Resonator Banjo 

The Gold Tone CC-100R+ Cripple Creek Resonator Banjo exemplifies Gold Tone’s dedication to professional craftsmanship at an accessible price. Built with a maple neck and multi-ply maple rim, this banjo offers the durability and tone of higher-end models. Each component — from the dual coordinator rods to the rolled brass tone ring — reflects the meticulous design approach honed at Gold Tone’s Florida workshop, where every instrument receives a full professional setup before shipping. The vintage brown high-gloss finish and snowflake inlays add a touch of elegance that appeals to both players and collectors.

Tonally, the CC-100R+ delivers a bright, powerful bluegrass projection when the resonator is attached and a warm, open clawhammer tone when removed. This convertible resonator design gives players the freedom to explore both old-time and modern styles without owning two separate instruments. The rolled brass tone ring enhances sustain and clarity, while the Remo coated head ensures balanced resonance that matures beautifully over time, providing players with a sound that grows richer the more it’s played.

Designed for beginners and advancing players alike, this model is the perfect crossover between performance quality and affordability. Whether you’re a student learning your first rolls or a stage-ready musician seeking reliability, the CC-100R+ stands out as a professional-grade instrument that evolves with your skill level. Its easy playability, lightweight body, and premium setup make it a top choice among music teachers and enthusiasts seeking lasting value.

Each instrument is professionally set up by Gold Tone in Florida for ideal playability, tonal response, and balance right out of the case.
