This left-handed model is specifically crafted to ensure that every player can enjoy the folksy, warm resonance that Gold Tone is revered for. Its open-back design is perfect for clawhammer and old-time folk styles, providing an airy yet distinct tone that resonates comfortably in any setting, from porch gatherings to stage performances.

Crafted with a sturdy maple neck and multi-ply maple rim, the CC-50 delivers a clear, resonant twang that is synonymous with high-quality banjos.

This, combined with a Zero Glide bone nut, ensures superior tuning stability and enhanced playability.

The rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also provides excellent fret-hand comfort, making it an ideal choice for beginners and experienced players alike.
