Gold Tone CC-Tenor Cripple Creek Banjo

Gold Tone CC-Tenor: Cripple Creek Tenor Banjo

The Gold Tone CC-Tenor is expertly handcrafted in the USA as part of the renowned Cripple Creek series, combining traditional banjo craftsmanship with modern reliability. Built with a maple neck and 11" multi-ply maple rim, it features a rolled brass tone ring and rosewood fingerboard with elegant snowflake inlays. Its removable 13" maple resonator allows players to switch between warm open-back tones and resonator projection, while the Terminator tailpiece ensures stable tuning and easy string changes.

Designed for clear, bright, and balanced tones, the CC-Tenor excels across a variety of styles including Dixieland jazz, Celtic tunes, and strumming accompaniments. The maple construction combined with the brass tone ring provides crisp articulation and excellent projection, while the removable resonator adds versatility for stage or casual play. Over time, the instrument’s tonal richness deepens, giving players a mature, resonant sound that grows with experience.

Ideal for beginners and early-intermediate players, the CC-Tenor offers professional-quality features at an accessible price. Its 19-fret neck and standard CGDA tuning make it perfect for students, hobbyists, or performers exploring four-string banjo styles. This model stands out for its combination of affordability, playability, and authentic tonal character, making it a trusted choice for entry-level tenor banjoists.
