Description
The
Maple Mountain 150 (MM-150) is a perfect example of Gold Tone’s “more
bang for the buck” concept. This openback banjo model is a professional
quality instrument offing many of the same features found on much
higher priced instruments and packs an unreal tone for its low cost.
For a sweet frailing or clawhammer tone, the MM-150 is our original open
back and has been very well received. This model features an accurate
replica of the vintage and highly sought after 3-part White Ladye tone
ring coupled with a 1/2" rim for maximum air chamber volume. Other
features include a maple neck, rosewood fingerboard with ‘snowflake’
inlays and a frailing scoop, vintage Friabanks-style headstock design,
planetary tuners, 11” Renaissance head, Vega-style armrest, and No Knot
tailpiece. Final assembly and complete setup performed at the Gold Tone
Factory in Florida.
