Entry-level banjos must be designed for easy learning. The Cripple Creek 50 with Resonator and Planetary tuners (CC-50RP) is just that. They've taken their popular CC-50 model and added a full-walled resonator and geared planetary tuners to suit the beginning bluegrass banjo player. Features include a hard maple neck and rim, a convertible mahogany resonator, planetary tuners, a geared 5th string tuner, and a single coordinator rod, Straightline tailpiece, rosewood fingerboard, and a brass tone ring. With a complete setup at the Gold Tone Factory in Florida, the CC-50RP is the perfect model for the entry-level bluegrass banjo player.

The CC-50RP includes a light-duty gig bag for easy transport.
