Gold Tone

collapse expand iconDescription

The Gold Tone AC-1 sets the bar for an economical, well-made, great-sounding and durable beginner banjo. The superior-sounding composite rim paired with a slim, playable neck produces a banjo that weighs less than 4 lb. and is the perfect choice for beginners, travel use or for a child's first banjo. Handsome, with a matching black neck, rim, Zero Glide nut and tuner buttons, the AC-1 banjo is professionally set up in Gold Tone's Florida shop.
