Gold Tone CC-50 Cripple Creek Banjo

The Gold Tone CC-50 Cripple Creek Banjo is a trusted favorite among entry-level players and seasoned musicians seeking a reliable, lightweight open-back banjo. Crafted from select hard maple and assembled at Gold Tone’s Florida workshop, this model is designed for effortless playability, balanced tone, and lasting durability. Its classic vintage brown satin finish highlights its all-wood construction, while the smooth rosewood fingerboard ensures a comfortable and responsive feel under the fingers.

Engineered for traditional “old-time” and folk banjo styles, the CC-50 produces a bright, resonant tone with excellent clarity and projection. The rolled brass tone ring enhances warmth and sustain, while the 11" multi-ply maple rim and Remo coated head provide solid resonance and stable tuning. Over time, the tone matures beautifully, making it a dependable instrument for years of consistent performance.

Perfect for students, educators, and folk enthusiasts, the CC-50 stands out for its combination of affordability, craftsmanship, and tonal quality. Whether you’re just beginning your musical journey or adding a versatile backup banjo to your collection, the CC-50 offers the ideal balance between comfort, tone, and classic design.
