GoldTone BG-250F 5-String Banjo
The BG-250F is the first professional 5 string banjo in our line.
It is a vintage replica of the most famous banjo ever played in bluegrass music. All its parts are accurate reproductions of the original. In addition, we have added a maple neck, which brightens tone compared to the original mahogany necks.
The BG-250F model has been discontinued. It was replaced by the Newer upgraded Gold Tone Wide Neck Model

Ross – the Gold Tone GB 250F arrived yesterday and it’s everything you said. What a great banjo. I just hope I can do it justice by learning to play it! Thanks again for calling me from Australia to answer a couple of neophyte questions. I didn’t expect you to call from the land down under! Great customer service! PS – Kathy was great as well, very personable and helpful.
