I went to a festival this past weekend and stayed with a friend who has a very impressive banjo collection. He has Nechvilles, Stellings, Gibsons etc... He even has a 1933 original flathead Grenada, which I played with out end all weekend. I love going over to his house to play all of his lovely banjos. But I must say, when I came back to my house and picked up my '79 Gold Star, I thought it sounded as good if not better than those that he had. I am sure that a lot of that has to do with the fact that the Gold Star is MY banjo, but I must say, I do love my Gold Star!

W7973 says: 8/13/2012 8:27:28 PM I guess my GoldStar is to new to talk about, but I would to discuss GSs. I played an Encore Banjo, like a 1962 likely sold at Sears, for about 1 year. During that year I taught myself how play it. Turned out I like a banjo, never played an instrument very much so I don't really know much about one. However, I looked around and talked to a few folks and they talked me into buying a GS. So, all the way I went, bought a GF300, crazy but I did. Are there any thoughts out there about the GF300, made in 2007 type of year, bought it new from Sage (Cali.). The only issues I have it that the tuners on D and B will turn down a little on their own and re tune.
