Builders reference a 1930s original, which is known for luxurious looks, pinnacle craftsmanship, and extremely limited availability (the originals are now practically rarer than any noteworthy prewar guitar). The Mastertone OB-Grandee Orange Blossom resonator banjo boasts a 14-inch resonator carved from figured curly maple for excellent tone and looks that radiate with an indulgent honey-like glow. Meanwhile, a flat-top brass tone ring and Remo banjo head animate tone with assertive attack and bright rippling sustain. Other highlights include striking inlays, vintage-spec golden hardware, and a curly maple neck topped with ebony. Gold Tone isn’t just the company’s name, it’s exactly what you get with this spectacular Gold Tone banjo.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReconnect with the past's lavish sound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mastertone OB-Grandee sounds deliciously assertive with a sophisticated twang that’s worth savoring firsthand. A large 14-inch curly maple resonator conjures airy brightness and warmth with the crisp attack and forward projection of a high-quality resonator. Meanwhile, the sound chamber’s inclusion of a bell brass tone ring adds unforgettable vibrance, not to mention girthy lows, clear highs, and bell-like sustain that’s not just heard but also felt viscerally by players who apply their virtuosity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMasterful hardware\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond a bell brass tone ring, upgraded 24-count tension hooks keep the OB-Grandee resonant, responsive, and loud with a tight bond between all the essential components.
