Gibson RB-250 vs. Gold Tone BG-250F
The Gibson RB-250 was the workhouse of the Gibson Mastertone Line in the 1950s to now. It produces the most sought after bluegrass tone - loud, sustaining, and punchy. The Gold Tone BG-250F replicates many all of the same parts, most of which are interchangeable. Our assembly procedures equal the tight-fitting parts of the RB-250. As you view the chart, you will notice that the BG-250F actually has some advanced benefits. Gold Tone's theme has always been "More Bang for the Buck".You can now own a professional comparable banjo for less than 1/3 of the Gibson price!
