Gold Tone OB-G “Grandee”

Just got the production model OB-G “Grandee” that I helped develop with my friends at Gold Tone and it is absolutely awesome! It came out just as I was hoping and after only an hour of play it it's opening up and sounding incredible! I’ll post a more in depth review of it once I’ve had time to tweak the set up to my liking, but wowee is it great!

Truly an astounding instrument. I played one at MerleFest this year, and I still can't get the sound out of my ear -- or the feel out of my fingers. I am determined to own one some day.

You are really good; and i love the sound of that Banjo'

[@DavidBrown-it9ig]

Dude you could play a willow stick and sound good. Now if I were playing that....

[@MadameM.]

I just get totally transfixed by your playing. The banjo is fantastic, but your playing just puts me in a trance. Happy trance.

Wow, what a sound. To my ear, the notes are big and round, yet they have a soft edge.

[@goofoffbert]

That is amazing and spectacular! An OB-Gabe! I like that sound -- very bright even over UA-cam.

Wow gold tone keeps on making these awesome offshoots of their standard line. Great sound! Good job on this banjo 🪕

You should do a import comparison put it up against a goldstar gf200

[@gabehirshfeld8688]

If someone wants to send me a GF-200 I’d be happy to make a comparison video, but I don’t make any money off of these videos, so i can’t justify buying a GF-200 for that purpose.

[@ollietbow3342]

Thank you for posting vids! You do this "stare into nothingness" while playing. I've come to discern you are conjuring.

They gf 200 is all maple do a comparison
