Gold Tone CC-100RW Cripple Creek Resonator Banjo

Gold Tone CC-100RW: Cripple Creek Resonator Banjo with Wide Fingerboard 

The Gold Tone CC-100RW is a masterful evolution of the classic Cripple Creek banjo, crafted in Gold Tone’s Florida workshop with precision and care. Featuring a wide 1-5/16" ZeroGlide nut, a slimmer yet sturdy maple neck, and a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with Snowflake inlays, this banjo provides unmatched comfort and playability. Its 11" multi-ply maple rim is topped with a thick rolled brass tone ring and tension hoop, delivering both strength and elegance, while the engraved Gold Tone armrest and chrome-plated hardware add refined visual appeal.

The CC-100RW’s upgraded pot assembly—thicker tone ring and tension hoop combined with the Terminator tailpiece—produces a powerful, full-bodied sound with precise intonation. The heavier mass amplifies projection, giving both deep lows and sparkling highs with remarkable clarity. The fifth-string nut aligned with the fifth fret ensures consistent intonation, while the tonal character grows richer with each play, adapting beautifully to both modern and traditional playing styles.

Designed for intermediate to advanced players who need a wide-fingerboard banjo with professional features, the CC-100RW suits students, performers, and teachers alike. Its thoughtful upgrades make it perfect for modern techniques while remaining approachable for serious beginners seeking long-term playability. This model stands out as a versatile, high-performance instrument that grows with its player.
