A Banjo Steeped in Bluegrass History
Step into the echoes of greatness with the Gold Star GF-100JD Banjo, a faithful recreation of the legendary prewar RB-3. This is the banjo that shaped an era, immortalized on The Bluegrass Album by J.D. Crowe himself. Now, that same unmistakable tone and craftsmanship live on, waiting for the next hands to continue its story.
Masterfully Built for Unmatched Tone
From its deep arch, tapered wall resonator to the no-hole, cast, machined flathead tone ring, every element has been crafted for that warm, driving tone bluegrass demands. The bound Santos rosewood fingerboard offers smooth, responsive playability, while the traditional V-shaped neck ensures a comfortable grip. It’s a nod to the past with the precision of today.
Precision, Power, and Playability
Equipped with Deluxe Gold Star 4:1 Pancake Planets, this banjo delivers effortless tuning for the perfect pitch every time. The period-correct twin purfling rings add elegance to the powerhouse build. Strung with GHS PF140 J.D. Crowe Signature Set – Stage 010 – .020, it’s ready to sing from the moment it’s in your hands. The legacy is yours to carry forward.
