Gold Tone OB-3 In Stock
The Gold Tone OB3 is a brand new model which offers "Pre-war" style at a price anyone can afford. It’s an amazing banjo with authentic tone and superb playability. Features include a three-ply maple rim and one-piece flange (just like the megabucks originals)
The OB-3 now comes with high quality GOTOH tuners standard!
The Gold Tone OB-3 "The Twanger" is a replica of JD Crowe's 1930's Gibson RB3 banjo he called "The Banger" which featured a no hole brass flathead tone ring, one piece flange, 3 ply maple rim, mahogany neck and slant wall resonator.
The OB-3 by Gold Tone is professionally set up before shipping and comes with lifetime warranty which is TRANSFERRABLE if you sell the banjo later too.

Thank you!
0 of 0 people found the following review helpfulReceived my Gold Tone OB 3 "Twanger" the day after Thanksgiving. This is the second banjo I've ever owned, and it is a huge step up in quality and sound. I appreciate the time you spent on the phone and through email to help me decide on the right banjo for me. This banjo looks and sounds great, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Your customer service is outstanding, and I appreciate the encouragement to practice and improve. I think this banjo will definitely help me reach some of my goals!
Thank you!
