Product Description
The old tone 800 (0t-800) is an accurate reproduction of the most sought after banjo design in the classic old time sound, The Vega tuba phone. The Gold Tone 0t-800 incorporates a fitted metal bracket band to an 11” Maple rim in which the shoe lugs bolt directly to the bracket band instead of the wood rim allowing for a more solid tone and increased Sustain. The 32-hole brass tuba phone-style tone ring allows the sound to ring loud and clear with maximum Sustain. Improvements to the original classic design include dual coordinator rods (instead of a dowel stick) for a solid neck fit and easy adjustment capabilities. Other features include a maple neck with bound ebony fingerboard with failing scoop, a classic engraved fingerboard inlay design, a Fairbanks-style headstock, 11” Renaissance banjo head, and a no knot tailpiece. With final assembly and a complete setup at the Gold Tone factory in Florida, this model delivers exactly what the contemporary open back banjo player is looking for! The 0t-800 includes a deluxe arch case.
