Call 727-248-8300 with question or to reserve one. The new Gold Star JD Crowe Model GF-100JD has been meticulously perfected with Gold Star Banjos now unveiling this new JD Crowe model GF-100JD professional level 5-string bluegrass banjo. Gold Star has always demanded high standards since the 70's and the GF-100JD is now available for order. Notes from Ross: The banjo sounds great,and it looks great too. The attention to detail is excellent. It has a noticeably good bottom end, both my set up guy and I noticed that right away. Banjos are inherently bright but banjos that also have balanced tone and a strong voice on the bottom are not as easy to come by. Up the neck the notes were loud and clear too which signifies a good quality tone ring. Just because all flathead tone rings are heavy when they are created, does not mean they are all created equal. A superior tone ring is superior up the neck and a high quality tone ring like this will not lose volume and tone with a capo on.The GF-100JD has the No Hole Flathead Tone Ring, just like the original. Gold Star has always made an amazing reproduction of the 1930's Gibson's. Saga Music, the company who manufacturers Gold Star Banjos began in the 1970's and has built a very strong reputation to meticulous quality and all aspects of building a musical instrument of this caliber. There are no other imported instruments that even comes close to having the stable of professional musicians that choose to play Gold Star banjos, Kentucky Mandolins and Blue Ridge Guitars, all made by Saga. Gold Star Banjos are the only banjos not made in the USA that have increased in value over time. Remember we are talking about a replica that cost 1/3 to 1/4 the price of an American made banjo with the same category of features and tone. So, if you are not able to afford or not ready to buy an American Made banjo in the category, this is one of the three best import alternatives. Don’t miss your chance to be a part of the continuing tradition. Features: Traditional V-shaped neck with single truss rod Deep arch, tapered wall resonator Period-correct twin purfling rings Deluxe Gold Star 4:1 Pancake Planets for precise easy tuning Bound Santos rosewood fingerboard No-hole, cast, machined flathead tone ring All Gold Stars are carefully checked and set-up before shipping List of FREE Items Included with this Banjo Free Professional Banjo Set-up Free Installation of 5th String Capo Spikes on Request Free Official Gold Star Superior Hard Shell Case Five Free Ross Nickerson Instruction DVDs Free LIFETIME Platinum Members Lesson Site Access Free US Banjo Shipping $30 Intl.

Goldstar GF-JD
0 of 0 people found the following review helpfulI have owned a Goldstar before so I was expecting a good banjo but I was blown away by this model! I was thinking I could order a Huber tonering if I wasn’t happy with the sound but this is definitely a keeper. The quality and setup is top notch!!!
