Notes from Ross Nickerson on the OB 250 models from Gold Tone.
Does this look like a banjo that only costs this much? It looks and plays like a $4000 to $5000 dollar banjo. Wayne at Gold Tone has really perfected this model without raising the price. I have a demo video of the OB 250 and OB 250 Plus also a close up description on video. The OB-250 comes with free shipping, hard shell case, zero glide nut, not to mention my free instructional DVDs offer and Platinum Members only site subscription free with purchase. Ross Nickerson

Jim D. Dec 25, 2021 | Beautiful Gold Tone OB-250 that I bought Ordered Friday Dec 3rd and it was in my hands on Dec 7th; Can’t beat that for service. And, OMG, what a beautiful instrument. I was absolutely amazed when I opened the box.!! Thank you so much for all your help and for putting up with about 45 minutes to an hour of my endless questions and ramblings; and yes, Thank you Sir, for all the freebee materials you sent me; you are a Godsend. I’m 70 years old; twice retired, military and law enforcement for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and have finally decided to take on a new mission of learning to play the banjo, and actually chose to play a true left handed instrument this time...So happy I found your website; it’s a true blessing to deal with someone that will take the time to answer the phone and talk to their customers as you do. I’m a customer for life. And, please pass on a thank you to Kathy for her ultrafast service; she’s absolutely amazing and needs to be reminded of that every once and awhile. Thanks again for all you do for us customers.!! Jim D. |

Scott Cruzen Jan 18, 2021 | OB-250 just arrived Banjo arrived this morning, 2 days early, in perfect condition. Thanks so much for the terrific service and all the great learning materials. If my wife thought that my fiddling was hard to tolerate, this thing will probably drive her clear out of the house. Thanks again, Scott Cruzen |

Robbie Crook Feb 23, 2019 | Thank you so much for the personal touch and all the add-ons Ross,Banjo arrived today. It's beautiful. I added the Snuffy Smith bridge without a hitch, touched up the tuning and dug right in. Sounds fantastic! My wife immediately noticed the difference in the sound of the Gold Tone compared to my starter. Thank you so much for the personal touch and all the add-ons like the DVDs and the book. I had a great experience, and you have my business going forward. Best Regards, |

Phil Umberger Dec 25, 2017 | New OB-250 After talking with Ross at length over the phone, I decided to buy the Gold Tone OB-250 and haven't regretted it a second! He gave me the best price that I found anywhere online and I received it promptly. I ordered it on a Thursday and received it the following Monday; pristine, set up and ready to play. I was astonished at how well it played, how loud it was and the overall clarity of tone. It rings like a bell. Compared to my old "beginner" banjo, the difference was nothing short of astonishing! I've been nothing but pleased with it and with the service that Ross has given. I highly recommend both. |
