Gold Tone OB-250LW Lightweight Orange Blossom Banjo

Gold Tone OB-250LW Lightweight Orange Blossom Banjo

The Gold Tone OB-250LW is a masterfully crafted banjo that combines classic Orange Blossom heritage with modern ergonomic design. Handbuilt in Gold Tone’s Florida workshop, this model features a unique 3-ply Canadian rock maple “tone rim” that replaces the traditional heavy brass tone ring. Every component, from the flamed maple resonator to the Hearts & Flowers inlay, reflects meticulous craftsmanship, ensuring a visually stunning and highly durable instrument for long-term use.

Engineered for comfort without compromising tone, the OB-250LW delivers crisp, punchy Bluegrass sound with a short, lively sustain. Its all-wood tone rim reduces weight by nearly three pounds, minimizing shoulder and neck fatigue while maintaining projection and tonal clarity. GT Master Planetary tuners and a Remo HC coated head provide reliable tuning stability and professional-grade resonance that develops a richer voice with each session.

Perfect for intermediate to professional Bluegrass players, festival performers, and jam session enthusiasts, the OB-250LW stands out in its class for its lightweight design and traditional Orange Blossom sound. Whether on stage or in a casual setting, this model offers both comfort and performance for players seeking a professional, stage-ready banjo without the bulk of heavier brass-ring models.
