Description
 

GoldTone Orange Blossom OB-250+ resonator banjo: left-handed


GoldTone have taken their celebrated OB-250 and improved it dramatically by adding many unique features reserved for only the highest-quality banjos. Upgraded features include the Bronze JLS tone ring, 3-ply Canadian maple rim, Gary Sosebee aged maple  Mill bridge, and a deluxe TKL arched case. 

The JLS Tone Ring is a replica of the Gibson tone ring used in the Granada models in the 30’s. 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.
