Gold Tone CC-100R Cripple Creek Resonator Banjo

Gold Tone CC-100R: Cripple Creek Resonator Banjo

The Gold Tone CC-100R is expertly crafted in Gold Tone’s Florida workshop, combining quality materials with versatile design. Featuring a hard maple neck with a two-way adjustable truss rod, a separate rosewood fretboard, and an 11” multi-ply maple rim with dual coordinator rods, this banjo is both durable and highly playable. Its natural-blonde high-gloss finish highlights the fine maple wood grain, while the engraved Gold Tone armrest, chrome-plated hardware, and Snowflake inlays give it an elegant and professional appearance.

Equipped with a rolled brass flat-bar tone ring and 11” Remo LC coated head, the CC-100R produces bright, lively, and resonant tones. The sound is punchy yet warm, offering excellent projection whether played with the resonator attached for full volume or removed for classic openback warmth. Its tonal character evolves beautifully over time, rewarding players with increasing depth, clarity, and responsiveness as the banjo is played and broken in.

Designed for beginners and intermediate players alike, the CC-100R is ideal for those seeking a convertible 5-string banjo that can accommodate both Bluegrass and openback styles. Its versatile design allows players to explore multiple playing techniques with a single instrument, making it perfect for students, performers, and teachers who want a reliable, stage-ready banjo with professional setup and outstanding playability.
