Description

The Gold Tone BUS is a soprano-scale banjo ukulele designed for players seeking a unique tonal experience. With an 8-inch multi-ply maple rim and a Remo Weatherking head, this instrument produces a bright and resonant banjo-like sound. The maple neck is paired with a rosewood fingerboard, which has 16 frets and mini dot inlays, offering a smooth playing experience.

The ZeroGlide nut has a width of 1.38 inches, enhancing intonation and playability, while the 13.5-inch scale length ensures it retains its soprano classification. The bridge is crafted from maple with an ebony cap, adding to the tonal precision. Open gear guitar-style tuners ensure stable tuning, and the entire setup weighs only 2.6 pounds.

Finished in a vintage brown satin look, the BUS comes with a flat maple resonator back and chrome-plated hardware. It includes a hard shell case, making it a ready-to-go package for travel and storage. All Gold Tone instruments are set up in Titusville, Florida, USA, ensuring quality right out of the box.
