The banjo you actually want to pick up every day. The CC-50 brings real old-time tone to players just finding their way into clawhammer and folk without a price tag that makes you think twice.
Built around a multi-ply maple rim and hard maple neck, the Cripple Creek delivers the bright, cutting voice that open-back playing demands. A rolled brass tone ring adds focused punch and sustain that plastic-rim banjos simply can't touch. At just 5.5 lbs., it's light enough to play for hours. Every CC-50 is inspected and set up at Gold Tone's Titusville, FL shop before it ships, so it plays great right out of the box.
