Gold Tone OME Jubilee Banjo

Gold Tone OME Jubilee Banjo 

The Gold Tone OME Jubilee Banjo is a premium American-made 12" clawhammer instrument, designed for players who demand exceptional tone and effortless playability. Every component is carefully selected to deliver a balanced, warm sound and professional performance. Its signature double-cut Jubilee headstock with moon & stars inlay combines classic aesthetic appeal with modern craftsmanship, making it a standout instrument both visually and sonically.

Tonally, the Jubilee offers rich, full-bodied sound with impressive volume, sustain, and clarity. The proprietary 12" tone rim with ebonite cap emphasizes low-to-midrange warmth, while adjustable coordinator rods or rim-stick support allow for a customized setup. Paired with either a Remo Renaissance or Fiberskyn head, the Jubilee provides options for a responsive, warm tone or traditional old-time character. Anchoring the instrument, a Sweetone tailpiece ensures balanced string tension and consistent resonance.

Perfect for clawhammer players, folk musicians, and serious old-time enthusiasts, the Jubilee stands out for its professional-grade craftsmanship, ergonomic S-curve scoop for comfortable play, and customizable options. Players can select neck and rim materials, head type, and hardware finish to create an instrument that suits their personal style and performance needs, making the Jubilee an inspiring tool for both stage and studio.
