Gold Tone OT-800LN Old Time Long Neck Banjo

Gold Tone OT-800LN Old Time Long Neck Banjo 

The Gold Tone OT-800LN is a masterfully crafted long-neck banjo built for players who value both tradition and precision. Handcrafted in Gold Tone’s Florida workshop, this model features a pre-WWII-style Tubaphone tone ring, an 11" three-ply maple rim, and a bound ebony fingerboard, combining classic materials with meticulous design to deliver authentic old-time aesthetics and exceptional durability. Every detail, from the vintage-style armrest to the GT Master Planetary tuners, reflects decades of banjo-making expertise.

Rich, resonant, and harmonically complex, the OT-800LN produces a powerful tone that projects beautifully in both solo and ensemble settings. Its Tubaphone-style tone ring and Remo Renaissance head provide crisp attack with sustained overtones, while the maple/ebony bridge ensures tonal balance. Over time, the banjo’s character deepens, offering enhanced warmth, dynamic response, and a voice that matures with regular playing.

Ideal for serious clawhammer, folk, and ensemble musicians, this long-neck banjo is perfect for performers, educators, and dedicated students alike. The extended 32" scale length allows for versatile tunings like EBEG#B, expanding creative possibilities and making it stand out among other long-neck and traditional banjos in its class.
