Gold Tone's Cripple Creek CC-100R+ is an entry-level banjo that gives you more bang for the buck. Over 7,000 Cripple Creeks have been sold in the last 12 years, and have proven by far to be one of the best student banjos for tone and playability in its price range. With a complete setup at the Gold Tone Factory in Florida, they are durable, have low string action and are a pleasure to play.

The CC-100R+ model features a hard maple neck, rim, and convertible resonator, black binding on the neck and resonator, dual coordinator rods, curly maple headstock veneer, Straightline tailpiece, brass tone ring, 2-way adjustable truss rod, and low string action for the beginning banjoist.
