GoldTone CC-100R
By Tone
I am playing banjo for approximately a year. I bought a Fender 54 from Guitar Center and the neck was loose on it. So I took it back. On a side note, Guitar Center put it right back on the shelf for someone else to buy. I wouldn't buy another instrument from there again. Anyways, I then bought a Washburn B-11 banjo for $459. I thought it was a very good instrument. Although, I did have to set it up myself. I did a great job and it was a good banjo. Needless to say I was satisfied. Then, I decided to see what GoldTone was all about. I decided on the CC-100R because it was in my price range. When I tuned it up and started pickin' I had to stop because I couldn't believe the quality of sound coming from this thing. It FAR beat every aspect of my Washburn. Everything that I could ask for was there: Tone, resonance, perfect pitch, string height and a perfect amount of sustain. Now, mind you, I don't have that much experience in all of the previous above mentioned qualities in a banjo. I only know what I have played in music stores and my own Washburn; and I don't know if I got lucky and someone that day my banjo was built was feeling like an over-achiever that day. But, I still can't believe what a quality banjo I have sitting on a music stand in my music room. I'm not trying to sway your decision, I'm just giving you my opinions of my experience of my new instrument.Disclaimer: I'm am not saying that Washburn manufactures sub par instruments, so don't sue me.But Guitar Center sucks and I stand by that statement.

fine banjo
By steve
if you are looking for a beginner/intermediate banjo this is it! it has everything you need. it was great tone and easy to play but when buying a banjo online they all say that. what you really need to be looking for is does it have a truss rod, wood rim, two coordinator rods, brass tone ring, and geared tuners, that this banjo has all this and more. you could buy a different banjo in this price range or lower but the problem is in 6 months or a year you will be saying i need a better banjo. that won't happen with this banjo, in my book this is the best banjo for under $2,000. the banjo is built well and will last for a long time.

Great banjo at a great price
By Rick Sanders
I have some previous experience with the guitar, but this is my first banjo. I've been playing it for a few weeks now and I'm really pleased with it. It sounded great right from the start, no adjustments needed. The resonator is easy to remove with the four large screws, and it has a geared 5th string peg. It has a great sound and appearance to match. I think the maple construction makes for a very attractive instrument. Put a nice leather strap on it and you've got a beautiful banjo that's a joy to play. A friend of mine who has been playing for decades tells me he thinks this model is great for a beginner because it's affordable but the quality is such that it can be used to jam with a band without needing to upgrade to a 'better' banjo first. I don't know if I'll ever be in a band, but I do know this banjo is comfortable to play and has a great sound. Learning on it is proving to be lots of fun.Click on 'View and share related images' under the item picture to see more. I've uploaded some photos of mine so you can get a more detailed look at it.
