Description

A worthy modern evocation of great old banjos from the 60s': the Gold Tone OB-2 Bowtie. The feature set closely adheres to the original banjo - mahogany neck and maple resonator, a beautiful golden sunburst finish and even a nineteen-hole flathead tone ring. Updated features include superb quality Gotoh machine heads, the renowned Snuffy Smith bridge, a Presto-style tailpiece and dual coordinator rods for precise adjustment.
