Over a year in the making, the Gold Tone OB-2 is based upon the renowned and unique Gibson "Bowtie,” a 1960’s model Mastertone with a 19 hole tone-ring flathead tonering. Authentic Bowtie Mastertone appointments such as the bottle shape headstock, signature bowtie inlay, concentric resonator rings, and that authentic era correct sunburst finish against the deep reflective nickel plating make this banjo an absolute show stopper! This is the only current production model Bowtie banjo in this class
