Gold Tone OB-2 Mastertone "Bowtie" Banjo, Mahogany FACTORY BLEMISH - NEW

(NEW, FACTORY BLEM) The new OB-2 is the latest addition to Gold Tone's Mastertone series, based on the most iconic bluegrass banjos of yesteryear.  We've gone deeper and deeper into their offerings these last couple years, considering their banjos to be great sounding as well as a great value.  This model was inspired by Gold Tone rep Marc Horowitz' personal instrument that he bought new in 1963.

This banjo comes to us as a "factory blemish" or "2nd" for minor finish imperfections.  We're looking, but we're not seeing them!  Great chance to save a little $$$!
