Gold Tone Cripple Creek Bob Carlin 5-Strong Open-Back Banjo #4348
The Gold Tone Cripple Creek Bob Carlin Signature Model is a thoughtfully designed 5-string open-back banjo that offers warm tone, classic styling, and comfortable playability—all in an accessible, stage-ready package. Built with a maple neck and multi-ply maple 12" rim, it delivers a rich, full-bodied sound, enhanced by a 12" rolled brass tone ring and Renaissance head. The rosewood fingerboard features a scooped design for clawhammer players, with dot and star inlays adding a touch of vintage charm. A ZeroGlide nut and GT planetary tuners offer smooth tuning stability, while the engraved armrest, vintage-style tailpiece, and chrome-plated hardware round out the instrument’s elegant look. Weighing in at just 5.8 lbs and set up with dual coordinator rods, this banjo is comfortable to play and easy to carry. It comes ready to go with a padded gig bag and ships tuned to standard open G (GDGBD).
