Goldtone Orange Blossom 250 Plus
 |
OB-250 + from Goldtone Banjos and BanjoTeacher.com |
|||
We've taken our celebrated OB-250 and improved it dramatically by adding many unique features reserved for only the highest-quality banjos. Upgraded features include the JLS tone ring, 3-ply maple rim, coordinator rod adjuster, Brian Hooper Intonated Custom Bridge, a raised neck to body mount, and a deluxe case. The JLS Tone Ring is a replica of the Gibson tone ring used in the Granada models in the 30’s. The maker, from Texas, has analyzed an original tone ring and duplicated the exact specifications. When electronically tested for pitch, sustain, and ring, it equals the original. It also has a slightly longer “skirt” which (1) provides more contact with wood rim and (2) provides direct contact with the heel of the neck. The neck is attached with a conventional hanger bolt going through a hole at the edge of the tone ring. This method provides an extremely tight fit and maximum heel contact with tone ring. Instrument comes set up and ready to play.  |

Wow!!!!!!!!
Hi Ross!
I picked up my new OB 250+ today.I'm so impressed. I guess new owners
are a little prejudiced, but I gotta tell ya, this has got to be one of
- if not the most beautiful banjo ever!!!!!!!!!! And it sounds so great!!!!!
It is absolutely one of the best buys I have ever made. I know I sound
like a silly kid, but it was much more than I expected, and I expected
a perfect instrument in every way.
.........Ross, I got my banjo today. What kind of vitamins have you been feeding this banjo? UNBELIEVABLE. I got a Gibson RB 3 in 1988. In a moment of temporary insanity, I sold it. I have been bereft ever since.(2 years). Now I am elated that I sold it. This OB250+ is louder and stronger in every way. Mahogany may be a bit warmer, but it can not compete with OB250+. And that RB 3 was a truly great banjo.
Thank you for the great work you are doing. Your service has been the best I have ever experienced. I am 66 years old, so I'm not talking about a few purchases. You are the best.
Thank you, Wayne Grievo
........Ross,
I recently received my left-handed, gold- plated OB250 plus 5-string banjo
and I must say that it is absolutely beautiful...The tone. clarity, volume
and craftmanship was much more than I expected. I have received many favorable
comments from other pickers. I want to thank for processing this special
order in a timely fashion and my hats off to you!!! Jim Quick, OKC, OK
.....Ross! Ross! Ross! My new banjo arrived today in perfect condition, just some slight tuning required. Wow, what a difference in sound from my student model Rover. The OB 250+ plays so loud and crisp. I can't wait to show my instructor next week. Adjusting to the heavier weight and lower arm rest took only minutes. And the GS bridge is so much better. You were phenominal to work with. Great follow up on the communication. Thanks for taking time to personally supervise the transaction with me and thanks for the senior discount. I love it and I'm sure I'll practice twice as much. The book arrived and I'm on the email now for the free lessons. You are an amazing person and thanks for sharing your gift with me. When you get to heaven, show those angels how to "tear it up". Shooter
