The Gold Tone MC-150RP Maple Classic is a versatile convertible banjo designed for eclectic players who want both resonator punch and openback warmth. Its flangeless construction allows the resonator and brackets to be easily removed, instantly transforming it into a powerful openback banjo.
This model is also the most economical in Gold Tone’s lineup to feature a full complement of professional-grade components, including a 3/4" hard maple rim, a matching flathead steel alloy tone ring, GT Master planetary tuners, an engraved armrest, and a straight-line Terminator tailpiece. Beautifully finished in a natural blonde high gloss, the MC-150RP combines classic aesthetics with modern durability.
Perfect for players seeking a reliable, all-purpose banjo, it delivers clear highs, a powerful fourth-string growl, and excellent projection.
