The Gold Tone AC-12 is a 5-string open-back banjo that’s ideal for travel, practice, or for any player looking to sharpen their old-time clawhammer chops. This banjo’s combination of an open-back design, 12-inch composite rim, and Remo LC Renaissance head provides a rich, mellow tone not often found on traditional bluegrass banjos. Moreover, the rosewood-topped-nato neck’s old-school frailing scoop allows players to pick much farther up the neck than usual without bumping into the frets or fingerboard. And while the AC-12 is an excellent choice for the player on a budget, it doesn’t skimp out on functionality — the vintage style clamshell tailpiece, covered guitar-style tuners, ZeroGlide nut, and coordinator rod design ensure exceptional performance and stability.
