Product Description This great bundle contains the Gold Tone Model BC-120 - 5 String Open Back banjo , as well as a Effin Guitars clip on tuner and a Butler Music polishing cloth . The total retail value of these great add on items is over $25.00 which makes this bundle a great deal. This fine instrument is set up, tuned up, and ready to play right out of the case. All Gold Tone instruments are hand set up right here in the US. These are fully set up one at a time and not just "lot inspected" like the big manufacturers do it. This assures that your instrument has a straight neck , great action superb playability, and great tone from day one. Following the success of the Bob Carlin models, the BC-350 and BC-350+, Gold Tone introduced a new brother, the BC-120. This economically priced version of the BC line has many of the features of its costlier relative such as the 12" rim and rolled brass tone ring for increased mid-range and bass response, a fingerboard scoop to play over the neck for a deeper tone, a wider fingerboard to facilitate drop thumb, a "hot-dog" vintage-style armrest, Renaissance banjo head, and No Knot tailpiece. Other features exclusive to this model include the dual coordinator rod configuration, rosewood fingerboard, bone nut, and geared tuners. For those that want to get into a 12" banjo at the beginner price, the BC-120 is for you.
The BC-120 includes a padded gig bag.
