The Gold Star GF-100FE was inspired by the Gibson Mastertone banjos of the early 1930s. This particular instrument is based on the RB-3 that Don Reno got from Earl Scruggs in 1949. Like that classic banjo, this one has a mahogany neck and resonator, a three-ply maple shell, a cast bronze flat-head tone-ring, and the Flying Eagle inlay pattern in the fretboard. This banjos was built in 2005 and its in excellent structural and cosmetic condition with almost no fret wear. It has that classic Mastertone-style flathead bluegrass banjo tone and at a very reasonable price. Includes the original hardshell case.
