Gold Tone OT-800LN Long Neck Banjo (Five String, Vintage Mahogany) Reviews
The Old Tone 800 Long Neck (0T-800LN) is the ultimate longneck banjo. Tuned 1.5 steps lower for the best singing keys, this model is ideal for the folk musician and closely resembles Mr. Seeger’s famous and highly desired plunky tone. The 0T-800LN banjo pot assembly is an accurate reproduction of the most sought after design in the classic Old Time sound, the Vega Tubaphone. This model incorporates a fitted metal bracket band to an 11” maple rim in which the shoe lugs bolt directly to the bracket band instead of the wood rim allowing for a more solid tone and increased sustain. The 32-hole brass Tubaphone-style tone ring allows the sound to ring loud and clear with maximum sustain. Improvements to the original classic design include dual coordinator rods (instead of a dowel stick) for a solid neck fit and easy adjustment capabilities. Other features include a maple neck with bound ebony fingerboard, a classic engraved fingerboard inlay design, a Fairbanks-style headstock, 11” Renaissance banjo head, and a No Knot tailpiece. With final assembly and a complete setup at the Gold Tone Factory in Florida, this model delivers exactly what the contemporary long neck banjo player is looking for! The 0T-800LN includes a deluxe arch case.
