Gold Tone Style 1SM Weissenborn
All solid quarter-sawn mahogany, with beautiful ribbon-figured grain and a
gloss finish. These guitars are licensed to use the Weissenborn name, and
faithfully replicate Herman Weissenborn's original Style 1, with spruce
X-bracing and a lively, full, warm sound. This is a real professional-level
acoustic Hawaiian guitar. Great quality gold tuners, wood "rope" purfling
around the top, mother of pearl position markers.

Gold Tone OB-250
Gold Tone's OB-250 is their benchmark bluegrass banjo, and the one that put the Florida company on the map. With its curly maple resonator, neck and wooden bindings, fancy pearl inlays, engraved nickel plated armrest, and tobacco sunburst finish it's a snazzy banjo. But there's more than just looks to this one. Under the hood is a sandcast bronze Mastertone flat-head tone ring sitting on a 3-ply rock maple rim and a one piece pot metal flange. The banjo also features an ebony fingerboard and a set of Gold Tone's best tuning machines. It's a festival-worthy bluegrass banjo with lots of volume and a rich tone
