Features include maple neck, ebony fingerboard, maple body, maple resonator, one-piece zinc-alloy flange (for that pre-war sound), brass tone ring, brass counter hoop, Price licensed tailpiece, two way adjustable truss rod, and planetary tuning machines. Cosmetics include highly flamed maple resonator in two-toned brown sunburst, genuine mother of pearl headstock inlay, and hearts and flower neck inlay.

Seth Fields
Date: Fri, 17 Dec 1999 Hey Mickey, my Goldtone arrived today and is a great sounding banjo. For the money, the craftsmanship, the finish, the play-ability, and overall satisfaction can't be beat. It has a little more punch on the 3 and 4 strings than my Stelling, a little thicker neck ( a little like the Golden Era ), the archtop case is a clone of the Deering case (an excellent case). The gold finish really enhances it. I really appreciate your letting me set this up with Wayne at Goldtone and then getting back to you with the details. My Boston was shipped out Monday and should be getting there soon.
