Gold Tone Plucky: Traveler Banjo with Gig Bag
The Gold Tone Plucky is a beautifully crafted 5-string travel banjo designed for players who want real banjo tone in a lightweight, portable format. Weighing only 2.6 lbs, the Plucky embodies Gold Tone’s commitment to craftsmanship and innovation. Built from solid maple with a vintage brown high-gloss finish, it delivers both durability and timeless style. Each Plucky is handcrafted and fully set up at Gold Tone’s Florida workshop, ensuring perfect playability straight out of the gig bag.
Despite its compact size, the Plucky offers surprisingly rich tone and remarkable versatility. It can be tuned to open C (CGCEG), open D (DADF#A), or even standard G (GDGBD) using alternate string gauges — giving players the freedom to explore multiple banjo styles and sounds. The 8-inch maple rim and Remo LC Smooth head produce a bright, punchy tone with clear projection that’s ideal for practice, travel, and performance alike.
Perfect for traveling musicians, young learners, or casual players, the Plucky’s low action and full-width neck ensure easy fretting and comfortable play. Its professional setup, smooth fretwork, and compact form make it one of the most enjoyable and authentic travel banjos available. This is not a toy — it’s a true banjo built to perform anywhere you go.
