Gold Tone AC-1 Composite 5-String Open-Back Banjo - Black
The Gold Tone AC-1 sets the standard for an affordable, great-sounding beginner banjo. Crafted from a durable composite, open-back rim, this full-size banjo weighs in at less than 4 pounds!
The AC-1 is the perfect choice for beginners and travel. Its open-back design offers a quieter sound, which is ideal for first-time players—trust us! Featuring a nato neck with a rosewood fretboard and Gold Tone’s Zero Glide nut, this banjo enhances tuning stability and tone. The AC-1 includes a 3-year warranty and comes with a gig bag for easy transport.
Additionally, this clever little instrument won "Best in Show” at the 2016 Summer NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) Show. So you don’t have to take our word for it—it’s really that good.
