Converts from a 5-string Bluegrass Banjo with Resonator to Open Back Banjo for Clawhammer and Old Time Styles

Gold Tone BG 250 can quickly converted from 5-string Bluegrass Banjo with Resonator to Open Back Old Time and Clawhammer Banjo Styles by removing the resonator and flange attachments..

The BG 250 banjo is an amazing value on a high quality banjo that produces professional level tone with a bell brass flat head tone ring . The price in comparison to the value in quality and sound is incredible.

The BG -250 converts easily to a bona-fide open back for frailing and clawhammer style.

BG-250

By David Addison David Addison on 05/09/2017 Gold Tone BG-250

Ross recommended the BG 250 to me when I called him 10 years ago looking for a beginning banjo and was unsure about the style I wanted to learn. I'm so glad he did.
I ended up doing 3 finger picking but I rarely need the resonator as this banjo has a lot of punch. I take it anywhere. It is a real workhorse. And if something happens to it, I'm not out that much money. Its a bit heavy but I'll take that in exchange for the solid tone projection. Last week I changed the head, tinkered with the truss rod and the coordinator rods. This banjo is now playing better than ever. Thanks Ross.
