Gold Tone BG250F w/ HSC

The BG-250F is a value-priced, fully professional-spec Bluegrass banjo; its equipment list reads like pre-war collector banjo, but its price is within reach of any player searching for a keeper banjo. This particular BG250F has been modified to have a 5th string moveable capo. Featuring Gold Tone's bell-brass tone ring and die-cast brass one-piece flange, the BG-250F has a bound select wood fretboard (with tasteful snowflake inlays) a maple neck with GT Master planetary tuning machines and a hard-rock maple rim for brighter tone. The straight-line tailpiece provides equal down-pressure for all strings for more balanced playing response. Includes Goldtone Hard Shell Case.

This is a USED item in EXCELLENT condition. Cosmetically this banjo is in great shape with only a small amount of bucklerash on the back of the body being the only noticeable signs of wear. If you have any questions please feel free to give us a call at (217) 607-8132.
