OB-250 Light Weight

Mellow
Banjo Sound with Wood Rim
Every player hears astounding
tone from this lightweight pro banjo. Almost 4 lbs lighter, its unbelievable volume
comes from an integral 3-ply rock maple lathed tone rim. The top third of the
rim is carved exactly like a flat top ring resulting in a very authentic bluegrass
tone. All other OB-250 specs apply. So give your weary shoulder and back a rest
on jams without sacrificing the drive and punch needed for hardcore bluegrass
music!
New for '07! The 2007 OB-250LW includes maple binding, GT Master
Planetary Tuners, 1st fret inlay, One piece curly maple veneer on the resonator,
a new gorgeous tobacco brown finish, and a light-weight 10lb rim/tone-ring.
Instrument comes set up and ready to play.

These are great sounding banjos and you can see they look really good too. Frankly I'm surprised I have not sold more of these. This a fantastic innovation. Banjos are heavy, too heavy really, this wood rim produces a great sound without the bulky heavy feel of normal flat head tone ring banjos. To me it makes a great banjo to learn on or a second banjo that is great for a slightly different tone, easier to practice and perfect for gigs when you have to stand for a long period of time. It also would work well for someone who wanted the tone of a flathead but due to physical limitations could not use the heavier bluegrass banjos. I am going to get one of these for my personal collection.
One of my absolute favorite Goldtone models! Ross N
Testimonials
Ross, I purchased a Gold Tone OB 250LW from you recently. That is a great banjo with a sound that I find very pleasing. I hope you sell more of that model.
Thanks Ross & Kathy, ......Looking forward to playing the OB 250 lightweight on stage. I tour full time and also do music on the only remaining authentic paddlewheel riverboat doing overnight adventures in America. I think they'll like my updated version of some of John Hartford's stuff on the 250 LW. All the best, Barry.
