A Gold Tone mainstay for decades, over twenty-five thousand Cripple Creek banjos have been sent into Banjoland to bring happiness to pickers around the world. The CC-100 outclasses all other comparably-priced banjos with its hard maple neck and rim, black-bound real rosewood fretboard (easily re-fretted), dual coordinator rim rods, curly maple headstock veneer, straight-line tailpiece, brass rod tone ring, two-way adjustable truss rod and low, comfortable string action. Completely set up at the Florida Gold Tone factory by our skilled luthiers.
The Plus starts with the CC-100 base but is upgraded with a striking vintage brown finish, a three-ply Canadian maple rim, 24 bracket hooks, a Gold Tone engraved armrest and the same GT Master planetary-geared tuners found on our most expensive banjos. An SMP+ Pickup is professionally installed—frosting on already great cake!
All instruments from the Old Town School Music Store are professionally inspected and set-up before shipping, and directly support the missions, programs, and continued growth of the Old Town School of Folk Music.
