Description
The Gold Tone OB-3 Mastertone Twanger Resonator replicates one of the most iconic banjos played by the one of the most renowned banjo players of all time, JD Crowe's original RB-3 ("Banger"). What makes this banjo truly unique is its "No Hole" tone ring, which tightens up the sustain considerably. It also features the original measurements on the neck and body, nickel-plated hardware, slanted resonator walls, vintage inlay, a Presto tailpiece, concentric resonator rings and a brown mahogany finish. An archtop hardshell case and manufacturer's lifetime transferrable warranty are also included.
