Gold Star GF-100FE Professional 5-String Resonator Banjo – Flying Eagle Inlay

A Legacy Reborn From the golden age of bluegrass, the legendary flathead banjo of the 1930s set the standard. Decades later, Gold Star revives this heritage with the GF-100FE, built to honor the iconic sound that shaped a genre. First introduced in the 1970s, this model has returned, stronger and more refined than ever. Crafted for Excellence With a select mahogany neck and bound resonator, the GF-100FE radiates warmth and depth. The Santos rosewood fingerboard, adorned with the signature Flying Eagle inlay, offers smooth playability. A deluxe 3-ply rock maple rim and a 20-hole bell bronze tone ring ensure crisp, powerful projection. Precision and Performance Equipped with Gotoh tuners and a Presto tailpiece, this banjo delivers unwavering stability and responsiveness. The factory-set GHS PF140 strings provide a balanced tone, ideal for both studio sessions and live performances. A modern masterpiece with a timeless voice, it’s built for players who demand authenticity.
