Gold Tone WL-250 White Ladye Professional Vintage Style Armrest Maple Neck Openback Banjo w/Hard Case

The White Laydye 250 produces the plucky yet focused tone that's long been a standard for Old Time and folk music. This banjo features an accurate replica of the classic three-piece Whyte Laydie tone ring, mated with a half-inch maple rim for maximum air chamber volume.

The maple neck has a vintage heel design, a Fairbanks-style headstock shape, and GT Master planetary tuners. Stylized cloud inlays adorn the bound ebony fretboard which terminates in a frailing scoop. The eleven-inch pot carries a Remo Renaissance head, a No-Knot tailpiece, and dual coordinator rods for a solid neck fit and easy adjustments. A complete pro set up at the Gold Tone Factory in Florida helps to make the WL-250 Gold Tone's most popular open-back banjo ever. Available as a left-handed model.
