Gold Tone Mastertone™ OB-250AT Orange Blossom Banjo Arch Top w/ Case
This 2025 Gold Tone Mastertone™ OB-250AT Orange Blossom Arch-Top Banjo has been a demo in our retail store. It is in excellent condition although it does show some light fogging on the face of the headstock (See picture). Otherwise, this banjo is very much in like-new condition and shows no dings, dents, scratches, or any obvious playwear. This banjo has been professionally set up and plays great! The neck is straight, the action is low and comfortable, and the frets are in excellent condition. This banjo will come complete with the original Gold Tone Hardshell Case that is also in very clean condition. Awesome deal on a fantastic playing and sounding Gold Tone Mastertone™ OB-250AT Arch-Top Orange Blossom!
Another great Orange Blossom pro-grade banjo, this one features a superb bell brass forty-hole arch-top (or raised-head) tone ring, like the ones in the G-word banjos made from the late 1920s into the 1930s (instead of the flat head ring). This tone ring produces a sharper, more incisive tone that's useful for cutting through the random noise being produced by the other members of your band. Seriously, though, if you love the old Stanley Brothers recordings and Dr. Ralph's signature tone, this is the banjo for you. All other features are as per the OB-250.
