The double-cut headstock, combined with the Hearts-and-Flowers inlay pattern says it all. The OB-Standard pays respect to the GOAT Bluegrass banjoist that played this style of banjo for many years. This classic nickel-plated Mastertone™ flathead banjo is draped in authentic design with its maple neck and rim, creme ABS binding and Vintage Brown finish. Premium hardware and a Dotson bridge are ‘standard’ equipment. Another addition to our Professional-Grade banjo series, the OB-Standard sets the standard for a workhorse banjo that shows that you mean business when you put on your picks.
Thank you to Geoff Hohwald for allowing Gold Tone to acquire the banjos used in modeling the new OB-Standard. Geoff’s extensive inventory of Mastertone banjos and his depth of knowledge are greatly appreciated.
