| This gold plated beauty has similar features as the OB-500 without the metal engraving. The Gold Tone OB-300 features a curly maple neck and matching curly maple/abalone binding which combine for a most decorative 5 string. A sand cast bronze tone ring is used on the OB-300 and in only the best of banjos providing a loud penetrating tone. A unique abalone/pearl truss rod cover matches the exquisite inlay throughout the banjo. The OB-300 is a real treat to behold with its amazing inlay on the headstock, fretboard and resonator but this little beauty is not simply a wallflower! Rest assured, the Gold Tone OB-300 will sound as good or better than any banjo costing two times as much!
