Gold Tone OME Jasmine 5-String Open Back Banjo #5091

The Gold Tone OME Jasmine is a beautifully crafted open-back banjo that blends traditional appointments with refined detail. Built around an 11-inch 2-ply maple rim capped in ebonite and fitted with a vintage tone ring, it delivers a clear, warm response with plenty of projection for clawhammer, old-time, or melodic playing. The Renaissance head, OME maple bridge, and Harp tailpiece keep the sound focused and balanced across the range. A maple neck with an ebony-capped heel provides strength and stability, while the ebony fingerboard adds smooth playability. Mother-of-pearl inlay paired with tortoise-shell binding offers a touch of elegance without losing the instrument’s old-time character. The scale length stretches to 28.188 inches, giving this banjo a slightly longer reach and distinct tonal presence compared to more compact models. Practical features like dual OME adjustable coordinator rods, 17 nickel frets, and a dual-action truss rod ensure durability and precision setup over time. Aged brass hardware, Victorian headstock with amber button tuners, and walnut armrest complete the classic look. Shipped in its included case and strung in standard GDGBD tuning with light-gauge strings, the OME Jasmine is built for players who want tone, tradition, and dependability in one impressive package. There is a limited run of these being made.
