Gold Tone OME Tupelo Banjo

Gold Tone OME Tupelo Banjo

The Gold Tone OME Tupelo Banjo blends elegant craftsmanship with modern versatility, offering players a warm, resonant tone and a fully customizable experience. Its 12" rim and choice of Renaissance or Fiberskyn head produce a full, traditional voice, ideal for clawhammer, folk, and old-time styles. Every component, from the paddle-shaped headstock to the ebony fingerboard, is designed with precision to provide both aesthetic appeal and lasting performance.

Tonally, the Tupelo delivers a balanced, rich sound with exceptional projection and clarity. Players can customize the neck (Cherry or Mahogany), rim material (Cherry, Maple, or Walnut), and hardware finish (Aged Brass or Nickel), tailoring the instrument’s voice and appearance to their personal style. With Rickard Cyclone tuners, a 5/8" OME bridge, Sweetone tailpiece, and rim stick coordinator rod, this banjo ensures precise tuning stability, optimal tone, and reliable head response.

Lightweight and comfortable, weighing just 5.7 lbs with a 25.5" scale length, the Tupelo is perfect for performers, students, and dedicated old-time enthusiasts alike. Its combination of craftsmanship, tonal versatility, and customizable features makes it a standout instrument that balances tradition with modern playability, inspiring musicians at every level.
