We've taken our celebrated OB-250 and improved it dramatically by adding many unique features reserved for only the highest-quality banjos. Upgraded features include the JLS tone ring, 3-ply maple rim, coordinator rod adjuster, Brian Hooper Intonated Custom Bridge, a raised neck to body mount, and a deluxe case. The JLS Tone Ring is a replica of the Gibson tone ring used in the Granada models in the 30’s.
I believe it's the best sounding new banjo on the market in it's price range!!-Ross Nickerson
The maker, from Texas, has analyzed an original tone ring and duplicated the exact specifications. When electronically tested for pitch, sustain, and ring, it equals the original. It also has a slightly longer “skirt” which (1) provides more contact with wood rim and (2) provides direct contact with the heel of the neck. The neck is attached with a conventional hanger bolt going through a hole at the edge of the tone ring. This method provides an extremely tight fit and maximum heel contact with tone ring.

Hey Ross got my banjo today. Man this thing plays by itself. Wonderful
I told my wife and kids seven years ago that I was going to play on the Grand Ole Opry before I'm 65. Seven years to go. ????This baby's gonna motivate me to get there. ????
Thanks again - Maybe we'll jam together at some time.
When I got home from work yesterday, the banjo was waiting on me. Wow. What a great sounding, great looking instrument! It is more than I expected-such good craftsmanship and sound. I am already enjoying practicing and playing way more than I ever have. Thanks for your help on this!

I would just like to say, what a pleasure and joy it is to play the Gold Tone OB250+ banjo I also purchased from Ross. It is well made and worth every cent. Sorry Ross, but I will not be changing my Gold Tone anytime soon!!.
I really appreciate the effort expended, and the results, of your website and the depth of resources you are providing your clients. Being able to directly speak with Ross was a huge factor in my placing the right order and buying today. Your flexibility to tailor to my situation was much more than I expected; but very much appreciated. You’ve provided me the confidence of starting something I should have long ago. Now I’m excited to get my hands on the instrument.
Ross! Ross! Ross! My new banjo arrived today in perfect condition, just some slight tuning required. Wow, what a difference in sound from my student model Rover. The OB 250+ plays so loud and crisp. I can't wait to show my instructor next week. Adjusting to the heavier weight and lower arm rest took only minutes. And the GS bridge is so much better. You were phenominal to work with. Great follow up on the communication. Thanks for taking time to personally supervise the transaction with me and thanks for the senior discount. I love it and I'm sure I'll practice twice as much. The book arrived and I'm on the email now for the free lessons. You are an amazing person and thanks for sharing your gift with me. When you get to heaven, show those angels how to "tear it up".

The Banjo Cruise Workshop is held in a large private conference room that is essentially sound proof and separate from all other passengers. The workshop takes place during the days we are at sea so you can visit all ports and still have plenty of time for fun with your spouse, family or friends while on the cruise. The class sizes are small ensuring that each student receives the assistance and encouragement they need.

We'll spend our mornings and late afternoons exploring the wildlife of South Africa, and the mid day will be filled with a banjo workshop that should be fun and rewarding.
