Description

The Gold Tone Banjolele is a hybrid instrument that merges the melodic charm of a ukulele with the punchy resonance of a banjo. Designed for ukulele players looking for an elevated tonal edge, this concert-scale banjo-uke is enhanced with an 8" rolled brass tone ring, delivering brightness and richness that lend themselves perfectly to techniques popularized by performers like George Formby.

Constructed with a durable 8" multi-ply maple rim and finished in a high-gloss vintage brown, the Banjolele offers both aesthetic appeal and robust performance. Its fretboard is made of ebony, featuring a snowflake inlay design, while cream ABS binding and chrome-plated hardware add to its polished look.

The instrument includes a ZeroGlide nut measuring 1.38 inches and an armrest for comfort. Tuned to GCEA, the setup is completed with open gear guitar-style tuners and nylon strings for articulate and balanced sound. Weighing 4 pounds, this model is portable yet sturdy, and it comes with a gig bag for safe transportation. Hand-setup in Titusville, Florida, USA, the Gold Tone Banjolele meets high craftsmanship standards for distinctive performance.
