Notes from Ross Nickerson on the CC 100R PLUS models from Gold Tone
They sound great and look great too. These are really nice, when you hold it, it just feels good to play, the tone is very good too. This is one of my favorite models and it's very low priced particularly for what you get with it. I'm very confident that you won't believe when it arrives that you only paid this much for it. Check any competitive banjo in this price range and there is no comparison.Check any competitive banjo in this price range and youll find "more bang for the buck" with our Cripple Creek. This Banjo is perfect for students just getting started. I wish the world had banjos like this when I was learning to play or for that matter available for the students I've had in the past 20 years. I know more of the would have stuck with it.Ross N

What you get is a nice attractive well-made lightweight banjo that won't break your back or shoulder. Ross gives an accurate description. These project well for not having a heavy tone ring. The have really nice hardware including tunning pegs and truss rod. something often overlooked at this price range. perfect for a first-time banjo or as a lightweight take anywhere instrument. Now with a pickup you can play with others and not get washed out in the mix if so desired. The finish is also better than expected. I do recommend an upgraded bridge. This is usually the weakest link on most banjos. They do make a big difference in tone. Ross can definitely recommend one that is well suited. Mine is an older model with no pickup that is included now. If and when you decide to upgrade to a different banjo this can be your travel/campfire banjo. also, with the resonator removed you can do very well in the clawhammer style if you so choose. Just an all-around good banjo at a very fair price.
Hi Ross,The Banjo was here to great me when I arrived. I've been watching your DVD and learning the basics. I'm really enjoying it..... I'm looking forward learning all those rolls (there's so many!). Thanks so much for making sure it got here in time. It's much appreciated.
Thank you very much for sorting that out for me and it is refreshing in this day and age to have someone that has the customer in the forefront of their business.I have been looking to buy a banjo for some time now and after much searching I came across your website and the clips of Ross playing the Goldtone CC 100 R + that sealed the deal for me. I hope to do more business with your company in the future,
.....Hi Ross, Thanks so much! She arrived yesterday. I tuned her up last night and am looking forward to starting your lessons today. I appreciate your help through the transaction. You have wonderful customer service and I will recommend you to any who ask about my banjo. I look forward to learning this beautiful instrument.
My banjo arrived last Friday and I have spent the weekend practicing and learning. My right hand is tired and about to fall off, but I am so pleased with the CC100R+ and the instructional items in the beginner’s package. I am wondering why I waited so long to begin playing. I wanted to thank Ross. I was having trouble with the pay pal the day I ordered my banjo. He called later that same day to straighten everything out. He waited until half-time during a Denver Bronco’s football game, just in case I was watching. I am not a football fan, but was very impressed that he would be considerate enough to wait, just in case.
Dear Ross and Kathy I received the banjo yesterday ... I am extremely satisfied with the quality of the instrument and hard case. All the extra starters' kit pieces were intact and I can't wait to start my journey with my banjo. The finish on the banjo is excellent and the deep brown colour and clear varnish makes a quality instrument and the tight fit of the hard case just makes it all complete. The person that assembled this instrument obviously takes great pride in their work. I am very happy that I placed my order with your company and hope to do further business with you and rest assured that if I can recommend your company to anyone looking for a banjo of quality then I will do so freely.
