The Best Value Top Tension Banjo on the Market | Gold Tone OB-12!

We are incredibly excited to review the brand new Gold Tone OB-12 Top Tension Banjo. With brilliant design input from the legendary Greg Rich, this banjo marks a new elite era for Gold Tone. It features a beautiful walnut neck and a classic concave resonator, heavy-duty top tension hardware, and a radiused fretboard that plays like an absolute dream. If you have been looking for that iconic, punchy top-tension tone and volume without having to take out a second mortgage, Gold Tone has officially delivered. We go over all the specs, the history of the design, and take it for a spin so you can hear it for yourself. Joining this review is the talented Tate Greer!
