A Timeless Banjo with Modern Playability
Crafted in the tradition of late 1800s banjos, the Gold Star GE-1 Prospector blends vintage design with contemporary ease. Whether clawhammer or frailing, its warm, resonant tone invites musicians to explore the roots of old-time music while enjoying effortless playability.
Superior Tone and Structure
With a ½-inch rock maple rim made of two ¼-inch plies, this banjo delivers a rich, full-bodied sound. The frailing scoop offers access to deeper, warmer tones, perfect for old-time styles. A Schwimmer-style fifth string pip ensures spot-on intonation, so every note lands with clarity.
Reliable Craftsmanship for Every Player
A sturdy yet lightweight neck reinforcement and a coordinator rod provide structural stability without compromising balance. Deluxe P-130 Golden Gate Planet Tuners make tuning precise and smooth, while the No-Knot Tailpiece enhances string response with an unmistakable old-time feel.
Designed for Comfort and Versatility
A removable P-101 armrest ensures long playing sessions remain comfortable, while the classic Bulb Heel enhances aesthetic charm. Whether played on stage or around a campfire, the Gold Star GE-1 Prospector is a reliable companion for any musician seeking tradition with a touch of innovation.
