Description
In the late 1970s Saga® Musical Instruments made banjo history with the
introduction of the Gold Star® Banjo. These instruments were the first
production banjos since the 1930s to be manufactured with the lethal
combination of a three-ply maple rim and a single piece flange! As a
result, Gold Star® banjos became collector’s items for the current crop
of pickers during the 1980s and 1990s and are still the object of many a
collector’s desire. The GF-85 easily lives up to its reputation as a
banjo in which the sound quality and value far exceeds anything at twice
the price. Produced with the same attention to detail as the original
models and under the watchful eye of our skilled makers, these reissue
Gold Stars® come from an almost clean slate and are made the
old-fashioned way, replicating ’30s era banjos with a few modern touches
like a geared 5th. Just one look and you will know that the GF-85 is
every bit a Gold Star® and carries on the name proudly. This GF-85 includes a deluxe vintage banjo case!dnaught, Dobro/Classic, Gitane-style, F-model mandolin, 5-string resonator banjo, and open-back banjo with the characteristic “bump” design. Look to Golden Gate for all your instrument transport and protection needs.
