Gold Tone OME Juniper Banjo

Gold Tone OME Juniper Banjo

The Gold Tone OME Juniper Banjo represents the pinnacle of boutique American craftsmanship, designed for discerning players who seek both sonic excellence and visual elegance. Blending traditional aesthetics with thoughtful modern design, the Juniper offers superior playability and a voice that inspires. Custom abalone inlays and a beautifully finished neck make it a striking heirloom-quality instrument.

Tonally, the Juniper features a rolled brass tone ring paired with a multi-ply rim supported by OME’s rim-stick coordinator rod system, delivering a perfect balance of warmth, clarity, and projection. Players can choose between a Renaissance head for a warm, mellow voice or a Fiberskyn head for a traditional old-time character. Walnut or Maple neck options allow customization for tonal warmth or bright snap, while the sculpted S-curve scoop ensures effortless access for clawhammer and frailing techniques.

Perfect for clawhammer players, folk performers, and serious enthusiasts, the Juniper combines elegant design, robust construction, and customizable tonal options. Its versatile setup, paired with precise Rickard Cyclone 10:1 tuners, ensures tuning stability and responsive playability for any performance or recording setting.
