Gold Tone EB-5 Electric Banjo

Gold Tone EB-5 Electric Banjo

The Gold Tone EB-5 Electric Banjo brings modern innovation to traditional banjo design, offering a bold, feedback-resistant sound ideal for stage performers and electric crossover artists. Introduced in 2016, this model features a solid mahogany body paired with a Canadian maple neck, creating perfect weight balance and playing comfort for long sessions. Its 8" Remo pre-tuned (PTS) head produces genuine banjo tone while eliminating the need for re-tensioning, ensuring consistent tone and tuning stability night after night.

The EB-5’s stacked humbucker pickup delivers warm, articulate tone with exceptional feedback rejection, making it the perfect companion for live amplified performances. Whether plugged into an amp, PA, or effects rig, it maintains clarity and punch across genres — from bluegrass fusion and rock to folk and country. Combined with its contour-carved body and sleek satin finish, this model offers both striking aesthetics and reliable onstage performance.

Built for stage musicians, electric banjo enthusiasts, and experimental players, the EB-5 is your gateway to expressive amplified banjo tone. Its smooth rosewood fingerboard, solid tuning stability, and durable hardware make it ready for road use, recording sessions, or any creative setting. Designed for professionals yet accessible to players transitioning from acoustic banjo or guitar, it’s a truly modern instrument that expands what the banjo can do.

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