The patented design pairs a sustain-boosting bone nut with a hard nickel-silver “zero fret” for enhanced reliability and sound. Zero Glide nuts grace the headstocks of electric guitars, acoustic guitars, banjos, and even ukuleles. The benefits are clearly universal! Zero Glide’s precision-cut string slots further reduce string contact by a staggering 93% at the nut — meaning fewer tuning breaks and better resonance, especially when playing gets aggressive. Zero Glide also narrows sonic differences between fretted- and open-string notes while solving common intonation issues for innovative accuracy without compromising character.Gold Tone: a legacy of music The origins of Gold Tone go back to the folk music scene of the ’70s, when musicians Wayne and Robyn Rogers opened a small music shop. Fifteen years later, they founded Gold Tone Banjos in Titusville, Florida. Their first product, the TB-100 banjo, was designed by Wayne. As demand for this critically acclaimed instrument increased, the company expanded its offerings to include a selection of fretted instruments that combine modern innovation and timeless vintage design. The goal? To inspire all musicians, from beginners to professionals, to realize their musical dreams. Today, Sweetwater is pleased to offer you Gold Tone’s exciting range of 4-, 5-, and 6-string banjos, banjo ukuleles, metal- and wood-bodied resonator guitars, Weissenborn Hawaiian steel guitars, and mandolins.Gold Tone Banjola+ S Acoustic-electric 5-string Woodbody Banjo Features: Banjola body design expertly merges the sonorous body of a mandola with the voicing and play-style of a banjo for a unique timbre of folk-oriented sounds Fretboard scoop increases tonal and performance range without compromising the incomparable Banjola timbre Curly maple back, sides, and neck deliver clear, warm tones with excellent note separation Rosewood fingerboard imbues your sound with a distinctive, crystalline veneer that livens up every register Solid spruce top provides plenty of headroom with ample sustain and punchy, straightforward sounds 2-way adjustable truss rod and Zero Glide nut ensure stable intonation with reliably buzz-free tones Bridge-mounted transducer pickup faithfully captures the full spectrum of the Banjola’s distinct sonic profile GT Planetary tuning machines guarantee reliable tuning for unimpeded play across all 22 frets of the 26.5-inch scale SpecificationDetail Type Acoustic-electric Body Shape Banjola Color Natural Finish Gloss Top Material Spruce Body Material Maple Fingerboard Material Rosewood Fingerboard Inlay Dots with Shooting Star Number of Frets 22 Scale Length 26.5" Nut Material Bone Nut Width 1.187" Tuners Planetary Hardware Chrome Electronics Bridge-Mounted Transducer Pickup Strings .012, .026w, .018, .016, .013 Case/Gig Bag Gig Bag RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
