Gold Tone CC-50RP Cripple Creek Convertible Banjo with Bag

This versatile traditional 665mm scale nicely made multi-ply rim with Maple neck Gold Tone CC-50RP 5 sting Banjo is part of well respected and often recommended family of folk and bluegrass instruments. We especially like the rolled brass tone ring and straightline tailpiece with 13" resonator and 11" LC fritted head. This Golt tone CC-50RP offers players an easy convertion into an open back model. So in many ways this is a 2 in one option for those wanting both that closed back tone and also the ability to take off the resonator for an open back performance.

The Gold Tone model is armed with a Terminator tailpiece which comes with little hooks that you can easily attach the strings to, without having to fuss tying knots. Just like the arm rest, the banjo sports a gold finish and has been engraved to give a luxury feel. The machine heads are the Planetary kind, meaning they hide behind the headstock, again, adding to the special and professional look of the CC-50RP.
