Goldtone Maple Classic
MC 150R Maple Classic
from Goldtone Banjos and BanjoTeacher.com |

Economically priced, the MC-150 has all quality parts which provide excellent
tone. This model is convertible which means the resonator may be easily detached
for open back playing style. Recently, the MC-150 received a rave review from
a popular folk magazine in England which explained its incredible tone for the
price. The Maple Classic is also available in long neck version (MC-150LN), open
back (MC-150OB) or in lefty (MC-150L). It is also available in kit form for the
do-it-yourself craftsman! (GT Kit).
Features
include maple neck, maple tone rim, maple resonator, shoe style lugs, alloy tone
ring,
two way adjustable truss rod, Straight Line tailpiece, and snowflake
inlay.
