Bonuses When You Order From Banjo.com
- 5th String Railroad Spike Capos – FREE
We can add these as a free service when you purchase a banjo from us. When you add this banjo to your cart just select that you want the capos. What is this? When you use a standard capo on your banjo fretboard, fretting strings 1 through 4, you’ll need to capo the 5th string separately. The 5th string starts at the 5th fret. If your standard capo is on the 2nd fret, you also need to capo the 5th string two frets higher, at the 7th fret. We recommend installing railroad spike capos on frets 7 and 9 (A and B). We install them on the fretboard just under the 5th string, an idea that was developed and used by Earl Scruggs himself. We use them, and so do most of the professional players we know. When you’re playing, you don’t really notice the spikes because they’re out of the way, but they’re always there when you need them. Simply slide the 5th string under the spike. When you’re done, slide it out. - Bluegrass or Clawhammer Starter Pack – FREE
We can send along with your banjo a Bluegrass or Clawhammer Starter Pack for free. This includes a strap, DVD, and tuner and picks. - Every Banjo Tested by a Banjo Expert Before Shipping

Sale!Gold Tone Bob Carlin BC-350+ 5-String Open Back Banjo
$1,819.00$1,364.00At the 2004 IBMA show, Bob and Wayne met to discuss the possibilities for developing a signature model. Bob wanted a 12Ó pot, scooped fingerboard, specific neck dimensions, and brass tone ring. These features were previously only found on banjos retailing for $1,200 or more. Bob made a trip to Gold Tones Florida factory to help design it. For two days, Wayne and Bob examined every possible spec and tested prototypes and every detail was fine tuned. Because a typical banjo has an 11Ó pot, Gold Tone invested in all new 12Ó tooling at its factory to assure perfectly fitted parts. The BC-350 features an innovative Gold Tone dowel stick/ coordinator rod. The metal rod is inserted inside the dowel stick, which provides superior neck support and allows neck angle adjustments.
