Gold Star Banjos-Availability and Facts

If you decide to get one, I would pre-order, these shipments are not huge. They have probably made 50 so far. I kept one, number 10. They've been handpicking dealers and allotting them. I have three coming in and have pre-sold one. It's possible at some point they could ramp up production but Gold star has never consistently kept a steady flow of banjos in the 2000's. Ive been a dealer since 2003 and often customers have had to patiently wait for models to arrive. If you get a signed one, it could in fact become significant. Remember the old Earl Scruggs model in 1988 that Earl signed. It didn't seem like a huge deal back then, Earl was still playing and accessible. But here it is 2018 and I just had someone that called in boasting about his signed Earl Scruggs banjo, and that is not the first time. I feel that JD is one of the 3 main banjo great's from that era, if not 3, in the top 5, he is my top 3. I would get one of these and not leave it to chance.
