GOLD TONE INSTRUMENTS
Founded in 1993 in Florida by Wayne and Robyn Rogers, Gold Tone Instruments has become a trusted name in fretted string instruments worldwide. Known especially for their banjos, Gold Tone offers a wide range of high-quality instruments including mandolins, guitars, resonators, ukuleles, basses, and innovative hybrids like the banjitar and mandocello.
Gold Tone’s mission is simple: “Better instruments at better prices.” Every instrument is designed with musicians in mind—crafted with precision, inspected and setup in the U.S., and built to deliver excellent tone and playability at every level.
From beginner-friendly open-back banjos to professional-grade stage instruments, Gold Tone brings together traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation. Their lineup is beloved by artists across genres—bluegrass, folk, Celtic, country, and beyond—for its reliability, sound quality, and value.
