OB-250LW (Light Weight)

The Orange Blossom OB-250LW is not just the answer to a professional quality banjo deprived of about 4 lbs, this banjo is truly a tone monster.  Every player hears astounding tone from this lightweight pro banjo. Its unbelievable volume comes from an integral 3-ply rock maple lathed tone rim. The top third of the rim is carved exactly like a flat top ring resulting in a very authentic bluegrass tone.

All other OB-250 specs apply such as the popular curly maple binding on the maple neck and resonator, GT-Master planetary tuners, Hearts & Flowers inlay, one-piece curly maple veneer on the resonator, a new gorgeous tobacco brown finish, and a complete setup here at the Gold Tone Factory in Florida.  Give your weary shoulder and back a rest on jams without sacrificing the drive and punch needed for hardcore bluegrass music!

Kelly Jordan is my personal assistant, and also my best banjo student. She's just a beginner, but I have no doubt that she'll be a good player. At the 2007 NAMM show we saw Gold Tone's prototype OB-250LW, and it was love at first sight. I played it for a while, and knew that its warm tone and elegant design would be ideal for her. Well, it's her banjo now. She says that one of things she loves about it is that it sounds like mine, and it does. Mine is a 1934 Mastertone.
