Gold Tone OB-150EF 24-Fret Orange Blossom Banjo

Gold Tone OB-150EF 24-Fret Orange Blossom Banjo

The Gold Tone OB-150EF captures the essence of pre-war banjo craftsmanship with modern reliability and playability. Expertly built with a 3-ply Canadian maple rim, one-piece flange, and sand-cast 20-hole bell brass flathead tone ring, this banjo delivers the rich, resonant voice that defined early 20th-century Bluegrass instruments. The maple neck, adorned with vintage-style pearloid inlays and a smooth satin finish, provides comfort and precision for extended playing sessions.

Designed for tonal clarity, projection, and balance, the OB-150EF produces a full-bodied, traditional sound that responds beautifully across dynamic playing styles. The combination of the GT Planetary tuners, Gold Tone engraved armrest, and Terminator tailpiece ensures tuning stability, smooth action, and consistent performance both on stage and in rehearsal. Over time, the tone continues to open and mature, offering players an evolving, expressive voice.

Perfect for Bluegrass musicians, intermediate to professional players, and anyone seeking authentic pre-war style tone without the vintage price, the OB-150EF is a stage-ready instrument that stands out in its class. Its thoughtful construction, high-quality materials, and professional setup make it an ideal choice for players seeking reliability, tone, and tradition in one package.
