Any word on pricing?

On Facebook you said the revamped BG-150, that I think is a shoe-and-hook banjo with brass rod tone hoop, is under $1000.

I assume the OB-100 with 1-piece flange, tone hoop (and 3-ply rim?)  like the original RB-100 has to be somewhere between that and the OB-150 that adds a flathead tone ring.

This is great stuff for players on a budget.

Hello

If anyone is planning on going to SPBGMA next week in Nashville I'll have the prototype OB-12 Top Tension banjo and the new OB-100 on display. Bluegrass Standard Booth #6 come on by and see what Goldtone is up to
Greg
See you there

Thanks.

I had looked recently and it wasn't there yet.

Thread drift:

Gold Tone sells the parts for several of its models, including the finished resonators of its current higher-end models. If they sell this sunburst resonator as a stand-alone part, it might the answer for a current parts project where matching the neck might be tough. But sunburst sort of like a navy blue blazer: goes with almost everything.

Hey Greg grich ! I'm unable to attend SPBGMA this year due to a new job I just started, learning guitar repair at a local Detroit area music store. You know I wish that I could be there! Say howdy to Chip, Linc and everybody else wondering about Craig

That OB100 has me intrigued! Looking forward to seeing this one available here in Europe, might be my next banjo.

Thomann seems to carry Gold Tone's full lineup and they're great to deal with (their return policy especially)

Yeah, I know, Thomann is where I buy most of my music equipment - first rate customer service!
Looking forward to seeing this new model available there.

I have Gold Tone's EB-5, Dojo and Banjola... I'm a sucker for crazy 5-string confections and Gold Tone is great for these. Does Gold Tone have anything new in that vein coming up? Maybe a new stab at a 10-string?

That OB-100 is the first thing to excite me from Gold Tone in a while. 3-ply rim with a tone hoop. I don't think anyone else makes one like that. Kinda expensive for a tone hoop banjo but what isn't these days. Hopefully the local shop picks one up so I can futz with it for a while.
