Gold Tone OB-2 JM: Joe Mullins Signature Model Gold Plated Bowtie Banjo

The Gold Tone Gold Plated OB-2JM Joe Mullins Signature Model with vintage Mastertone Bowtie inlay features a special lightweight pot assembly and custom features.

This lighter weight Mastertone style banjo has a specially designed pot assembly to not weigh as much as your typical heavy bluegrass banjo with a Flathead tone ring. It's more like the 1930's Gibson RB-100 that were lighter weight. Gold Tone and Joe Mullins worked on the design together to have a lighter weight option that still delivered the tone a professional banjo player needs but save the backs of us banjo players!

The OB-2 JM banjo brings the legendary tone of the 1960s Mastertone bowtie to a new generation of players

Developed in collaboration with bluegrass master Joe Mullins, this exceptional instrument pairs vintage-inspired craftsmanship with modern innovation. The classic combination of mahogany neck and maple resonator, crowned with a rich golden sunburst finish, delivers the warm, powerful voice that defined bluegrass' golden age. True to its heritage, the OB-2 JM features the coveted rolled brass tone ring, while Gold Tone's advanced lightweight rim design ensures comfortable playability for today's performing artist. From the rolled brass tone ring to the premium Gotoh tuners, every component has been carefully selected to create an instrument that honors tradition while embracing the future. Whether in the studio or on stage, the OB-2 JM offers professional-grade tone, playability, and reliability at an exceptional value.
