Gold Tone CC-100R+: Cripple Creek Resonator Banjo Upgraded with Pickup and Bag

The CC-100R is the perfect choice for beginners who want a banjo that grows with them. Unlike most entry-level models, it’s a full-featured instrument with a maple neck and rim, two-way truss rod, separate rosewood fretboard, and dual coordinator rods for stability.

Its standout feature is its convertible resonator, which can be easily removed to switch between resonator-style projection and open-back clawhammer tone, allowing new players to explore both styles without needing two instruments. Gold Tone’s professional setup in Florida ensures it plays easily right out of the box. Available as a left-handed model.

Best For
Beginners and early-intermediate players who want versatility between Bluegrass and old-time styles in a single instrument.
